is this a good scope for a springfield m1A

To be honest, it is a great scope for AR15 rifles but you may want to look at the Bushnell Tactical line of scopes. I know the Bushnell will hold up to continous 308, semi auto impulses.

I don't know if I'm qualified to say whether or not this is a good scope specifically for the M1A. It is a very well made scope and I am very satisfied with it. It has a wide range of eye relief, making it quick and easy to get a clear sight picture.

It is not a scout scope, so the eye relief is not set up to be mounted too far forward. If you can mount it on the receiver then I think it is a good overall scope. The 7X would work for me at the range of a .308 but if you are stretching your shots out further than 500 yds with any regularity I would consider a more powerful scope.

It's a great scope for any rifle you can mount it on. It all depends on where the rings are on the rifle. They have to be able to fit the scope tube in front of and behind the adjustment turrets. I have seen scopes mounted with one ring in special circumstances. This scope is strong enough for that. It also has to mount where your eye is the proper distance from the ocular (eyepiece) lens when you have the rifle to your shoulder. This is called eye relief. If it's too far forward you have to crawl up on the stock. Too far back you risk taking a scope in the eye when you pull the trigger. The proper eye relief is critical. It all boils down to the mount-ring setup. But this is a great scope if it fits. It's a great scope for any rifle you can mount it on. It all depends on where the rings are on the rifle.

Not in my opinion. The scope doesnt have enough eye relief for a heavy recoiling rifle. These scopes are a bottom of the barrel optic from a great company, mine had issues out of the box. Wont be buying any more cheap Burris optics. You are better off springing for the US made $300-400 versions from Burris, way better quality and materials than the overseas produced models like this.

It's a great optic for the money. Having used it for a while now though on an 18" AR, I wish I had gone with the 3-9 and would recommend that for your M1A.

Pretty good medium all round scope. Field of view could be a little better. Quality is pretty good though.

The M1A was not designed to use a scope and in my opinion all the scope mounting options available for it will yield unacceptable instability of the mount with resultant poor accuracy. Also empty casings impact the mounts affecting scope zero and potentially jamming the action. I would suggest not scoping it. If you want good accuracy from a scoped gun, get one designed to wear a scope. That being said I think this is a dandy scope for use out to 200 yards with any weapon. Beyond that I'd go to a higher power like 3x9 etc. Good luck!

Sure but, I personally wouldn't put it on anything much larger than a .223 because it is an expensive scope. I have mine mounted on an AR15 and it works well but I wouldn't trust it on anything over .308 because of the recoil. I mainly shoot open sights but I wanted to check out the benefits of magnification without lightening my wallet too much. Eventually, I plan to buy a high quality scope and move this one to my Ruger 1022 for plinking.

Will probably work well. I have mine on a Springfield M1a that's fires a 308 round. With the shock from the round and the movement of the bolt because its a semi auto it gets alot of vibration. It holds it's zero and have had no problems.

I have this scope on my scout rifle and it works fine.... it is clear and will last you some 2 years... it has nice eye relief

I put mine on a Smith Wesson MP 15/22 ,have took it on and off the rail several times and it stays on zero,the glass is really clear out past 12 to 15 yards I think it would do a good job on your Sig. A Friend of mine bought a Sig m400 with a prismatic scope already mounted and he really likes it. Hope this is some help I really like mine, again the fiber optics on top are sub par.

yes, when you get ready to purchase a mount make sure it fits the carry handle properly with no wiggle, if you arepurchasing this scope for shooting over 200 yards you might be disappointed, the reticles are a little too large, its a great scope,but for precision shooting over 200 yards there are other scopes in the BSA line up that would be a better choice

It is a nice scope. I put mine on a 357 mag Rossi lever action rifle. I haven't been to the range to shoot it to site it in yet but I feel like it will do a good job. It has a good wide field of view and clear. My son told me it was to big for my 357 rifle but I told him at least I could see with it.

Personally, I think it would be very good on that rifle. It's a clean, simple reticle and the center dot would be fine enough for squirrels out to 50 and target out to 100. The illumination of the center dot would also be helpful in dark woods. I recommend getting a good mount, and as light a mount as possible.I recommend the AeroPrecision extended mount. It is only 3 ounces. if you are patient can probably find one for 60-70$.Hope this helps.

No, the scope is a good scope, very clear, very bright, and nice viewing area, you'll be satisfied with it I'm sure.

Assuming the 3/8" dovetail mount, you should be very happy with this scope. I can't speak to it's weather proofing, but I haven't experienced any problems with mine. A very clear image with a decent range of adjustments. The eye relief is generous allowing for a nice range of scope placement options. For the proce, it is a good airgun scope. I've used mine at both .177 cal and .22 cal with stable solid performance.

Mine has done well for me. I`ve had no problems with it. Good scope for the money.

Yes, it's a decent scope for the money. There's better out there, you can get more by dropping the laser and getting an ncstar or bsa scope. Some utg stuff is ok too.

Yes, it's actually a really good scope. I would say no if you're going to use it for really long distances though.

I put this scope on a m&p; 15-22, not a .223, it did return to zero at 50yards, however it is limited. It is not a powerful scope, we use it for squirrels and plinking at no more then 50 to 60 yards past that its not good.

I would not use this scope on a .223. The one i purchased was very cheap and did not work well at all. It would be perfect for airsoft but not the real thing.

Yes..it's basically a scope that you would see on a deer rifle..basic cross hairs..that's it..but I love it..i bought a burris P.E.P.R. scope mount and put a burris fastfire red dot on top of that for the "close quarters" situtions..it is a lightweight set up and I love it
