Well, M1As are pretty lousy for mounting optics to. The gun was never intended to use them, and the "solutions" are all quite awkward. The Marines spent a bunch of money trying to scope up some surplus M14s to make "Designated Marksman Rifles", but they've abandoned the program because the rifles were such a maintanence nightmare.
Between the AR10 and PSS, the decsion is, which do you need more? Accuracy or rapid follow-up shots? The PSS will be more accurate, but not much more at all, and the AR10 will obviously give you up to 19 quick follow-up shots. Of course, if you want something bigger than .308 caliber, only the PSS will do. -Troy |

i dont know much about gen 3 NV, so i dont know if a flash supressor is required/helpfull. in that case you would pretty much have to go with the PSS.

A flash suppressor isn't needed with a GenIII optic. Any of those rifles would make good platforms for the scope, but it really depends on how you intend to use the rifle. If it's just gonna be for a plinker, then the SA would be great (as long as you put a Smith mount on the receiver). If you're going to be doing some hunting with it though, then either the Remington or AR10 would be preferable. |

Since most NV I have seen are 3X or maybe 4X, why not put it on an AR15 type 5.56 rifle. The .308 can reach further than you can really see and the 5.56 will too, but not as much.
