Went to the range with Norm yesterday, mid 60's, sunny, beautiful weather! 
The M1A is super-nice.

I looks like a sweet gun. I'd love to have one (if I could drum up $2k to get one!)

The M1A's can be modified with a scout mount for long eye relief scopes, or just buy a scout model like I did.
Had a great day with SkunkWerx at his local range. Send a lot of lead down range, and saw what a Rem 700 with a properly bedded barrel, and super powerful scope can do...
Are you guys just rich or do I suck with money?
Man, I can't even begin to afford some of the guns you all have.
Nah, we just accumulate over the years. Gotta spend your recreational money on something. MY priority is my Motorcycle, and firearms.

OP- Outstanding rifle!
As for scope mounts, they are pricey, but I've heard good things about the JAE100 stock/ mount system.

If you wanted to mount a meduim range scope on a scout is the front pic. rail useless? I cant imagine looking through a scope half way down the gun.
If my goal was to mount a meduim range scope would it make more sense to get another model other then the scout? Seems like the scout is set up to run a Aimpoint or Eotech as opposed to a scope.

When I had my squad scout in it's original configuration I had an Aimpoint on it so I know what you mean.
There are scopes that are designed to be used on that forward mount, they're similar to long eye relief pistol scopes. I think they're actually called scout scopes.
Snoop around online, or on here www.m14tfl.com
Some guys have scout scopes, check out the forward mount on this setup down the page! http://m14tfl.com/upload/showthread.php?t=88158&highlight=scout+scope
I put a Scout scope on it, and it is fine. This is not a tack driving varmint gun, but is accurate enough for my purposes. The Scope makes up for old eyes and iron sights at 100 yards, and it does help with target acquisition.
Awesome rifle Sir!
I love the M1A: You take the M1 Garand, the "greatest battle implement ever created," and make it better with a box magazine and a modernized ergonomic stock. 'Nuff said.
CMP used to have some field-grade and rack-grade M1As that were decent shooters for under $1500. I've occasionally seen good condition used models for $1200-1600. I've been saving up for a Springfield National Match M1A, MSRP is $2315 but I've been quoted lower by a dealer in HdG. Haven't checked with my regular guy, Jack of Jacks Gun Works (highly recommended, his site is basic but it's better to call and then visit in person). I believe the composite stock scout is $1700ish (MSRP).

Good to know the PRVI is good ammo. I was eying some at AIM...
My stock M1AA9126 (Scout with black composite stock) was OTD $1,440.

What type of scope did you put on? dot
Sorry it took me so long to get back on. I actually have a BSA Edge scope, 2x-7x/30. Clear and according to all reports, holds up tpo recoil. So far in 400 rounds or so, no problem. I may go to a Red Dot at some point, I am not sure. Liking the current set-up, though.
