Recommend me a optic for my M1A Scout Squad (JAE Chassis, Sadlak Scope Mount). It will be used for a range toy for 100yd, 200yd and some 600yd distances.

Any suggestions?

He's using a Sadlak mount not the scout mount. I think he needs a standard eye relief scope.

Oops, you're right, I didn't notice that in his post. Sorry, OP.

Egads man! Get that crap off of the rifle and use open sights.
If you must, put an aimpoint on it.

This Bushnell caught my eye: Bushnell Elite Tactical 10x40. It looks good for the price.

Supposedly one of the best buy starter 10x scopes for the money. Don't have any experience with them but Midway puts them on sale every now and then. The SWFA SS is a popular buy too.

The weaver 3-10x from midway is pretty nice for the money. I upgraded to a vortex 2.5-10x32

Yeah, vortexx has a good reputation.  I have no first hand experience.  

This shows a good run down of different scopes for distance shooting.

I personally like your set up.  It looks like it would be fun to shoot.

No kidding ... Good god, man, that rifle needs a serious diet. Hernia in-bound.
Restore to original configuration and shoot the irons.  M14s/M1As were intended to be kept as light as possible.  
Much easier to hump and bump with too.
You can thank me later.

If you're shooting for groups from the bench, then heavy is good.

Like mentioning before go for the swfa super sniper with fixed 10 power.

Get the mil/mil variant if you're going to run this low-end Chi-Com stuff.
