M1A's in Sage

[Northland]

I have a M1A Scout in a Sage stock, I like it alot. I've only shot it with an EOtec so far and it worked great to all the distances I did fire it at. I'm wanting to put a 1-4 NF or something along those lines on it. Just wondering if any of you guys have a similar setup and what optics you're running.

Of course gotta have some pictures are the thread is worthless haha

Your zippers undone. Aimpoint CompM4s are nice on top.

Neg, thats part of the string on my fleece. Thats the first thing I thought when I saw the pics...

But thanks for looking!

I have an aimpoint on my M4, I thought about putting a 3x mag on it but don't really want to go that route. Thought about an ACOG but I could get a Leuy mrt or 1-4 nightforce for the same price. Anyone have a scout they tested out to 300-400 yards?

Re: M1A's in Sage

I shot my MK14 SEI Mod 0 out to 400 with an EOTech and it was point, shoot, hit & repeat.

I traded that EOTech for a .45-70 Guide Gun and ended up putting a Leupold Mark 4 1.5-5x20mm MR/T M2 with an illuminated SPR on the MK14.

Re: M1A's in Sage

H20MAN, is that the hard to find Larue mount?

Is that the factory barrel?

Re: M1A's in Sage

get on the larue website and email them that you need a larue lt-608 mount. they can get you one no problem.

Thanks brother! It fits into the clip slot right?

Re: M1A's in Sage

Northland - I run two sets of optics:

(1) EOTECH 552 w/ and w/o an EOTECH 3x magnifier; and
(2) Leupy MK4 M3 3.5x10

Both are mounted on the LT-608 (called LaRue directly and ordered - its a non-catalog item, not on the website; I think I paid less than $150 ea. delivered). The Leupy is mounted with SEI's low rings. No special hardware for the EOTECH system - I use the LT608s to swap on/off both sets.

Getting the gas system swaped out right now... will post pics when I get her back.

[Placeholder for pics]

Qualification: I may replace both sets out for a Leupy MK4 M2 1.5x5 I have on an M4 SPR (similar to H2OMAN's set up above), if I manage to get my hands on a SCAR 17S.

H2OMAN - did you get the M2 308 cams for the 1.5x5? Any idea where I can get a set (aside from Leupold)?

Re: M1A's in Sage

Northland - forgot to add: the LT-608 fits onto the rail and floats just over the clip slot (you keep the guide in there while the LaRue mt is on).

Re: M1A's in Sage

Got ya! Thanks man! I was thinking about doing the same thing you're running. Because I have a AR10 as well and I was thinking about using some throw levers or something and move the scope some one rifle to the next and have the zero's written down when I which rifles. Buying glass for 7+ Rifles gets expensive!!!

I'm really liking that MK4 1-5 though. But the NF has that 1-4, both seem nice. Thought about a 2.5-10x32 NF with the velocity Ret. in it as well...

It does not utilize the stripper clip guide.

Not yet, Ron has ordered them a few times and Leupold hasn't delivered yet.

Sounds like what I'm experiencing... I've had cams (MK262 and MK248) on order with Leupy for my M3s for about 7 months now.

Re: M1A's in Sage

I would much rather go with an ACOG if i wanted something more than an aimpoint, but less than a big optic, not a fan of the 1-4x It depends on what you want this weapon to do, it can be CQB or mid-long range, you cant have both, but the rifle can do both.

Re: M1A's in Sage

Re: M1A's in Sage

I recently became a Sage owner and all I can say is WOW! The system works as advertised.

I took a standard 18.5' chrome-lined Criterion barreled LRB M25 that was shooting 2.5-3 MOA groups out of it's original wood stock and put it in a Sage Mod 0.

Installed an older Tasco target scope with a fine cross-hair dot to test her out and shot a .95MOA group with Federal GM Match off a bench! I am a believer.

I use the Leupold Quick Detach rings which work well with the integral rail on my LRB.

I took the target scope off and she now wears a Trijicon Accu-point 30mm 1x-4x scope with Green Triangle Reticle. This is a great combination.

I am very happy with the Sage stock, and now I have the speed of a red-dot at 1x or some magnification to use the .308 reach at 4x.

By the way "THANK-YOU" to H20 Man! I learned a lot about the Sage from reading your posts and checking out your site.

Cheers,
