So I recently bought my first M1A. I took it out yesterday and put a couple of boxes through it, resulting in a good battle zero with a respectable five shot group at 200 meters. I want to mount a scope on it, probably an Aimpoint, but I'd like to keep my options open for the future in case I want to go with a magnified scope. It looks like the leading choices for mounts are the Sadlak and the A.R.M.S. I am leaning toward the sadlak because it allows you to still use your sights, and because I have seen reports of occasional malfunctions caused by the ARMS mount. So, my questions are two:
1) Which mount should I go with? 2) Assuming it is the Sadlak, which one do I want? Steel? Aluminum? Titanium? Thanks. |

Which model M1A do you have ? If you currently have one with the forward rail on it ? Take a look at this

My scout squad has a sadlak titanium mount and I am pleased with it. Factory sights are visible and the mount is solid. Mounted to it are vortex precision rings and a vortex viper PST 2.5-10x44. Extremely happy with this setup. Can we get a pic? Sounds really nice. |

Extremely happy with this setup. Pics please !!! Eventually my Scout will move from my Burris Scout scope ( Great scope ) to a traditional rear mounted higher power scope for 600 or more yards. Right now I love the current set up. |

You might want to look a the Bassett mount. Comes in two heights. Low supposedly won't need a cheek piece, high will. They claim the ability to return to within 1/2" of zero if properly reintalled after removal. They will also custom build you a mount if your receiver is out of spec. Good people, solid mounts. |

I wanted a short/low profile scope and mount and I am pleased with the setup. Damn nice rifle my friend. How far have you shot it out to ? I'm not going the chassis route but I'm going to upgrade from a CQB to medium range into a long distance set up like yours. |

Nice rifle. What stock is that? The only Sadlak mount that seems to be in stock is the aluminum version. I guess I will wait for the steel or titanium to become available. My rifle is a Standard. I am considering buying GI stock and having it cercoated. JAE stock |

I'm a fan of the Sadlak Airborne Steel mount. Very nice product and stays put! My setup is the airborne mount, Mark IV 3.5-10, and Mark IV medium height rings. Great setup for the price. http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p490/ullestad230/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-09/FD6D4D03-8820-406A-81E3-8724E109352C_zpsx7ueedkr.jpg http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p490/ullestad230/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-09/2A39EAA7-4B46-4C81-84E4-4F95736629A2_zps0rmjivuq.jpg Nice rifle !!!!! Are you going to throw a bipod on it or keep it as light as is possible with an M1A

Thanks! I've actually gone ahead and added a Harris s-brm but have yet to shoot it with a bipod. I was able to hit 440 yard 2/3 size torso targets with reasonable consistency. It's just a standard as well with no accurizing mods... yet.
Rifle already weighs as much as a Mk12, so a bipod won't hurt
