You may remember my troubles trying to get the screws out of my casm mount, even after taking a blowtorch to it :runaway:. Well, I gave up and decided to just get a scope! I found this Redfield Revolution with 3-9x50mm and accu-range reticle at Prophet River for a downright steal at $215 :eek: http://store.prophetriver.com/redfield-revolution-3-9x50mm-matte-accu-range/

I'm already loving the scope; it really brings in a lot of light! The accu-range is a nice bonus, as you can sight it in at 200 yards and use the markings for 100-500m.

I picked up some el cheapo Millet Angle-Loc low rings from Bass Pro and slapped it together. I used a dowel to try and get the rings aligned straight, and wrapped some sand paper around the dowel to sand out any rough edges. I found the rings to be a little sketchy, and I stripped one of the mounting screws aligning the rings, so hopefully I did a good job of getting it straight! :eek:

Obviously with the casm mount the scope's pretty high, even with low rings. Seeing as I'm not keen on drilling holes in my walnut stock I'm going to order a cheek rest from coyotem1a, but to figure out the needed height, I bubba'd together a couple rags and masking tape to get a nice 1.5" rise :cool: I might take it to the range this weekend like that...

Damn how high does the casm mount make your scope sit?

Same as Scart, I had to build it up 1.5", pretty damn high and I'm kind of falling out of love with this mount. :(

Good call, those Coyote M1A strap on risers look nice, and they have a left handed version.
