Finally got one!!!

You're going to love it. Especially now that .223 is damn near as much per round as .308. The SOCOM 16 is about the most fun you can have with your clothes on!

Fantastic! Welcome to the world of the 14. Michael doesn't show us any love but I think its the greatest battle rifle platform and that has to mean something right? Have fun and let me know if you have any questions!

So, if someone were thinking about some sort of optics for a SOCOM 16, what would be the thing to go with?

Pro's and cons .

AR assembly/ disassembly is  much simpler  as are weapon modifications.
M 1A sling mounts are on the stock, not the barrel so shooting sling supported does not flex the barrel.

I just placed an order with Midway for this scope:

I thought about a red dot, but thought I would not be doing the rifle justice with one.

I'm saving for this one for my Ruger Scout.

Back on topic, the M1A, is THE rifle to have these days.  I wouldn't kick an AR platform out of bed, I'm just sayin'.

[tombogan03884]

I have nothing at all against the M1 series .
But I am more impressed with the simplicity and adaptability of the AR platform.

[gunman42782]

Hey, I like the AR too, and have one to prove it!  There is just something about the Garand, the M-14, hell even the Mini 14 that turns me on!

[tombogan03884]

Can't say I'm impressed with the Mini but you DO have a point.
