If you are using the scout rail system with a dot on that you may be able to get one to co-witness. If its possible the most liekely cantidates are the type found on a MOS Glock or other optics ready pistol. Something like a RMR
The only dot I have run on M1a is a Aimpoint 9000L in 30mm rings it does well but no co witness. Blackhawk Down photo |

Ultimak rails for standard profile M1-A barrels mount a red dot as low as you can go on an M1-A.
I wish they made one that fit Super Match models. |

Ultimak on a Smith ent. The mro with trijicon low mount provides basically a lower 1/3. If you run an aimpoint micro, it will fully co witness.
*yes I know the sling is installed upside down*

But, it's a plenty good cheek weld. And not seeing the sights can be an advantage as you don't have them cluttering up your red dot view. The advantage would be you don't need a QD mount to pitch the thing off with gooks in the wire and you're red dot failing, like we all know we're going to have to do! |

 Attached File Attached FileI haven't bought one and it may or may not achieve a Co-Witness but it's one of the lowest mounts out. I ended up trying an Aimpoint Micro LRP QD mount on my SOCOM16 but only to quickly remove because I couldn't achieve a Co-Witness.  Attached File |

That’s the M14.CA SHG. Very light. Highly recommended.

Quote HistoryJust curious what advantage the cheek rest has for a red dot mounted in alignment with the barrel? I assume it is a M1 Garand cheek piece. |

The Springfield stripper clip is tight. It will not move. Only caveat is I wish they had an RMR mounting profile. |

However, I am considering going to a Bassett high mount, which allows the use of the iron sights. Bassett, is aluminum, and can be removed, or reinstalled as needed without the lose of zero. |
