Title: My old man had a birthday this month
Post by: red364 on May 17, 2012, 06:21:54 PM
So.....I got him some goodies for that dang M1A. Springfield had bigger mags, a scope mount, a bi pod, and a leather sling. He wanted a Shepherd scope, so I got a 6-18x40 P2.  It's still a big heavy ugly man gun, but I think he likes it......     ;D
Sorry about the cell phone pics though.

RED, why is the scope mounted so high over the bore ?

I wondered that too. You would need a cheekpad the size of a small couch to shoot well.

It's the way it mounted with those rings. He has different ones to put on. He kinda likes being able to use the sights if he wanted to  ???. I don't care, it's his, and if HE likes it, that's fine with me!    :)

Ah yes, the M1A We've yet to have a range pic, a vid, a photo in action....Keeps it clean that way I suppose,,,,, ::)

Is it warm enough yet to tell us how it shoots? ;)

Thanks red.  ;D
