1 The Leupold Prismatic come in the Gold Box of quality first..
2 The fiber optic light and power pack has to be put on the scope along with the mount
3 Battery, small base screws, power illumination ring and scope
4 Scope, battrey illumination ring and powere switch... which has nine settings
5 Battery installation is by unscrewing switch button
6 The fiber optic port in the body of the scope
7 Illumination light in the power ring
8 Power ring be attached luck any scope ring would be
9 Your choice of three heights in mounts
10
11 Main mount without height adapters
12 Use shortest screw to attach main mount
13 Mount attached. It attaches too the weapon very tight with only finger tightening, it become very solid
14 It height adapter as it own set of screws
15 ARMS #18 rail for M1A/M14 I've replaced the machine screw in the front with a allen axial hexagonal socket and a little blue lock tight. Other wise you have the machine screw biting into rifle hand guard.
16 First problem the scope mount can't ride all the way to the rear of the mounting rail; the scope mount contacts the striper slot which keep the scope mount from locking down. This is a big problem because you need the scope all the way back.
17 Here's you can see the spot it makes contact at
18 By moving the scope forward two pic slots you can mount the scope. However for me it takes it is out side of a comfortable eye relief
19 Again you can see the problem spot if the scope brought back
20 Peak at the reticles
21 Another shot
22 One more, I do like the power and reticle in mine which is an illuminated Duplex.
23 Second problem... there is no co-witnessing with iron on a M1A and this scope... It could be used with NVG.. perhaps?
24 Right side. You real due need that extra space on the #18 rail for the eye relief... later I may bring it back to the M1A with a little shorter stock, this Springfield has the factory rubber recoil pad on, and I just don't have enough neck. I still think it would be great on the M1A, possible another mount and throw lever rings, we'll see.
