Scopes for the m14 platform?

[manuglock17]

could we put a bolt buffer on a m-14 ? so it would be less hard on scope ?

No. I don't think it even exist.
You could find a buffer for the oprod but it prevent the bolt to reach the back of the receiver, putting undue stress on the bolt roller.

Have a BT recoil buffer on mine, has not seemed to have any negative affect. Pretty much stick to 147-150 gr. Have Bushnell 6-24x40 tac with 500 + rounds through with no issues.

Buffers for the M14-style rifle exist, but you won't find any of our experts recommending them.

and why it is not recommended ?

 

[machman]

Apparently they are unnecessary, and may break up as they age, in the action.

The oprod hit the front of the receiver at the same time that the bolt hit the rear of the receiver. If you add a shim to stop a part, the other part will be stopped in a way it was not designed for.

Look for a Kahles ZF95, built for the Israeli M14's and is tough. They are on Ebay from time to time in the range of your budget or so

Anyone have any luck with Nikon prostaff scopes? Twenty two years old and my eyes are already too far gone even with my glasses to see the 100 yard line with irons :/ looking to get something inexpensive to slap on a casm mount and get me through this hunting season. I've got a prostaff on a bolt .30-06 that seems to be holding up well, I was just wondering about durability on the M305. I was also kind of swayed by the full coverage with Nikon Canada as far as warranty goes. Thanks in advance!
