Thanks for the info. However, I’m not sure that the gen-3 unit will work on my Socom II as it came with the short version “rail-cluster” and is attached at the rear using the same holes as the gen-3 would use. I may have to figure-out some other way to mount a scope in a cantilevered configuration. Springfield Armory said that for ~$500 I could send the rifle back to them and they would install the “full-length” cluster rail which would solve all problems with mounting a scope. I’m just not sure I can afford that after having spent nearly $2100 for the rifle itself. Dang!

Thanks again.

I need to resubmit my comment as I provided an incorrect email address in previous post. I still need to mount a scope on my Socom II. What picatinny rail mount did you use to mount your scope?

What scope mount did you use on your M1A Scout rifle? Drop me an email at Truett1120@hotmail.com. I am in the process of buying either a Socom or a Scout version.

I mounted a Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14x40 SF rifle scope. It's an awesome scope for the price. Super accurate once you get it zeroed.

I suppose smaller weapons like a Beretta pistol (of the 9 mm caliber) or even a monster like the Colt .45 1911A1 would be, well, handier, but an MiA would be good for home defense in a serious situation.

Also, having a spouse or significant other who is knowledgable about firearms and, above all, firearms safety, is a plus, especially in these uncertain times. I don’t want to sound alarmist or pessimistic, but the way things are going, there’s a spike in crime; I’ve heard of accounts involving people who wouldn’t have considered committing a felony feeling desperate enough to do so, thinking it’s a matter of survival for them.
