Dug the M1A's out of the back of the safe, its been 9-years...

...since I shot the full sized one. Mostly because I had a 6X scope on it for some silly reason. I definatly prefer shooting it with iron sights. So i took the scope and scope mount off it. I considered putting the walnut stock back on it as well. But decided to stick with a sythetic for now.
My Scout hasnt been shot in a couple of years either. I may have to strip all the crap off of it as well. but that can wait until I've had a chance to get to the range with the full sized one.
anyone else try scoping and M1A only to decide they are better left with irons?

Is that scope on backwards or am I drunk?

Looks like a big ass aimpoint, but I'm sober either.

Wow!
That scope, mount system, and cheek riser look so 1992!
Time to upgrade the bottom rifle and enjoy the top rifle as-is!
Go shooting!

That 6x scope would have been good for hunting. Do any with it? Brand?

For the ones with optics, I've gone to all scout-style scopes on mine, even the full size ones. I just like that setup a whole lot more. But mine are 50/50 between scoped and irons, so I won't slam on one over the other.

Most def! I bought the scout with the intention of scoping it. I even put my M68 aimpoint on it when I upgraded my M4 to an ACOG. After messin w the aimpoint I figured Id just leave it alone. I need to take her to the range soon. I finally got all the Dillion conversion parts to load 762 in quanity

Nice to know I'm not the only one with nice dust-collectors in the back of the safe that haven't been shot in years.

My loaded has a 6x Springfield Arms scope that is becoming more vintage every year. Open sights are OK but I have carbine types for cqb use, so using a scope is an advantage on the m1a for me as I see it. Good thing folks stocked up on all that Aussie 308 in battle packs when it was15 cents a pop so they can continue to shoot and practice.

After 9 years, the full sized is still good looking
