Rez, thanks for the reply. I guess there are two ways to go, magnified, and red dot. I haven't really put the time in behind a IER minimal power scope/scout configuration, so i don't know how well they work. I did have a Comp M, but i really didn't take to it like i had hoped (flattop mounted on an AR). I didn't like the fact that i had to turn it on and off.
A buddy of mine attended a Front Sight Rifle course, and said that someone there with a M1A Scout had a Triji Reflex. The set up seemed to work pretty well for him, and it made me curious about trying it out. It's too bad that there are no 'loaners' around, as it can be a pretty expensive trial and error!
As for Burris, what height rings did you use? How do the irons line up with the scope in place?
thanks,
