Don't know much about scope mounts but I own a "loaded" model Springfield. If doing it again I'd probably spring for a Fulton Armory made version. Would not recommend the short versions for shooting on a public range, muzzle blast is harsh with those. Mcmillan's are fairly easy to find on the used market for M1A's, and tend to be much cheaper than the typical Rem 700 versions. Aside from that, I'd look for an older "pre-ban" model with bayonet lug just for the slight resale value therein.
