| Here is my dilema, I purchased a new Springfield M1A Scout Squad last month. I have plenty of mags, ammo and spare parts. I'm down to the last item, the scope. I am looking for a short to medium range scope, it has to fit this requirement. Now don't flame me, but I'm REALLY considering the Leupold CQT on a smith mount. I also like the idea of a Aimpoint mounted on the scout rail. But the Aimpoint is more of a CQB scope I think. What do you guys think? I have been tossing over this for the past 2 weeks and can't make up my mind. |
I would go with the aimpoint. Its going to be hard to find a scope with enough eye relief to work on the scout setup. you are really limiting yourself when you use a forward mount like that instead of a reciever based one. |
got that from another member who uses them in the canadian army. so its pretty much a low relief scope that cant be mounted forward like a scout scope I think these are pretty heavy also and bettr options can be had for a smith mount that are lighter and slightly more powerful |

Nice setup, I have an ACOG on my M4 and LOVE it. What kind of mount is that? I am really leaning towards a Smith mount, so I can still use the iron sights. Then either a Leupold CQT or US optics. I have to do some research on the USO stuff today. The only reason I hesitate about the Loopy CQT is battery life and it will be just TO BIG for my M1A Scout Squad. |
Any pics of it mounted on an M1A? PLEASE!!! ;) Do you have a web site for the scope also? Thanks. |
