    Does anyone have any pics of a Vortex 4-16 or 2.5-10 mounted on their M14/M1A?

    Rifle Scopes Help me scope my M1A

    I can't seem to make up my mind on what glass to get - here are my requirements: Shooting range: 100-400 yards Power range: something capable of at least 10X - fixed or variable Focal Plane: FFP would be nice, but not a requirement, cool with SFP Illumination: not necessary, but nice to have...

    Rifle Scopes Upsetting Experience with SWFA SERVICE (so far)?

    What's annoying is that I ordered the 3-15x42 SS a couple days ago and not having been notified of any shipment info, I decided to check the website - of course it's backordered. If they're not going to unplublish items that aren't available, at least have somebody add some text that says...

    Rifle Scopes Upsetting Experience with SWFA SERVICE (so far)?

    Just got off the phone with SWFA - all of the scopes I want are out of stock... For the MRAD line: 3-15x42 SS = out of stock 5-20x50 SS HD = out of stock 10X SS (rear and side focus) = out of stock Thought I'd help you guys out since they don't have a webmaster to maintain their site.

    Springfield M1A and the A.R.M.S. #18 Mount

    That explains why nobody on earth has them in stock. I guess there aren't any USGI Ejectors left?

    Rifle Scopes Swfa ss 12x42

    I ordered a SS 3-15x42 today, only to find out (7 hours later) that they're backordered. SWFA - start paying a webmaster to maintain your site. The fact that your products do not display their current status is incredibly irritating - if it's not in stock, either unpublish it or let people know...

    Springfield M1A and the A.R.M.S. #18 Mount

    Well, I ended up buying the ARMS mount - should be here by the weekend hopefully. I also ordered a few more things - Sadlak NM Spring Guide, USGI Extractor and USGI Extractor Plunger and Spring. From what I've been reading, it seems the angle the casings eject at can be a major source of the...

    Springfield M1A and the A.R.M.S. #18 Mount

    Thanks for the info - good stuff. I like the ARMS better because like you said, the installation is easier. I'm just not sure I want to chance it with my possibly out of spec SA receiver.

    Springfield M1A and the A.R.M.S. #18 Mount

    I'm in the market for a quality (and reliable) scope mount for my brand new M1A and have narrowed it down to the ARMS 18 mount. However, all I keep hearing about is that the ARMS 18 mount is basically hit or miss with the M1A. So, couple of questions... 1. What are the odds that my new...
