What is the price diffrence? Is there an accuracy guarantee?
I traded into a Springer M1A Loaded some years ago, with judicious attention to handloading detail, and 168gr SMK bulllets, best I have ever achieved is .75" @100 yards. Not repeatable every time. Consistently it will hold 1.25"-1.5".
I keep it on a 10" gong at 300 yards 8 for 10 with the above bullets, not so much with cheap bullets.
I use a Sadlak scope mount, tactical rings, loctite everything (the M1A due to the way it operates are tough on mounts, rings, and scopes) all the scope mounts for the M1A are a bit different but easy enough to install and remove. You Tube is your friend.
Check out M14 Forums.com. Lots of knowledgeable shooters over there.
