I just bought a Springfield Armory M1A (the National Match model) and would like to be able to scope it for load development, long range work, etc., although it may normally stay unscoped. The SA 3rd gen. mount sounds good, but I am also interested in the SA Scout mount. I realize that the receiver-mounted scope could be higher magnification, but if the Scout scope works well I might be able to leave it on all the time. Without considering scope magnification and looking only at the two mounts in terms of stability, reliability, etc., is there any advantage to either?
Thanks
