    Question for those who are running an M1A with an ATACR:

    Will the ocular housing clear the rear sight of an M1A when mounted in 1.25" rings on an ARMS #18 Scope Base?

    It has been probably 10 years since I've had an optic mounted...and the last optic was a Leupold MK4 in ARMS QD rings. This rifle is with family, so it isn't a simple "let me go look for myself" lol. I was going to fly in with the optic/rings but if I need to buy new ones, it really isn't worth the hassle for a one day range trip.

    Gear:
    -M1A Standard w/ ARMS #18 Scope Mount
    -NF ATACR F1 4-16x42mm w/ Badger 1.25" Rings (#306-61)

    Thanks!
