If I had my "druthers" I think I'd use one of the "quick detach" types on a rifle like that.

I am using a Bassett Machine mount on my M1A, which cause of its design unlike the other M1A/M14 mounts does return to zero every time you remove the whole mount. As well it allows the iron sights to be used with a scope mounted.

Some of Bill Bassett's pictures he had in his email he sent out to interested parties informing us of them being ready to ship. I do believe I got the first one in Canada, ordered the mount the first day it was for sale, on the Canadian specific sites I visit, others didn't get them till later! Cool

Glockman, they do not cost much more then a Leupold, and no batteries from a good manufacturer. Hard to not like them.

As for Bushy, I don't think he was alive when the paintings original was painted.

TRBLSHTR,

I do know of Warne, still undecided though, I take time to decide what to get. I like to think about it and really make a good choice before I do something. Will keep you all posted.

stovepipe,

In time, patience is required. Smile

slipshot,

I'll crack and let it out. One of my "worries" in life is that I will end up having a child and not know about it, or the mother of the child will not want to raise the child together both totally unacceptable to me. So I have not bothered in my 21 years of life to do what is required for a child as I have not known any girls who I know would stick around yet. Shocked

Haven't tried that yet since night hunting is illegal it wasn't really something I thought about.

Mitri,

I wasn't suggesting you to go out and hunt at night,
nor am I asking you to break the law just to satisfy my cuirosity.

I just want to know how does the green dot shows up in the dark.
I am sure that feat could be done without a firearm attached to it,
or without discharging the firearms in the event that the scope were attached to a firearm.

Wasn't the point of the trijicon system is to give better view to the cross hair/point of aim in the darker situation?

Yes and I will be trying it since you mentioned it. Smile

D, keep in mind that you might have need for defensive shooting at night.

Mike,

Come that situation the American saying "Better to be tried by 12 then carried by 6" would come into play. Would be ether attempted manslaughter or manslaughter here ether way.

No rights for self defense/protection from criminals here. I guess at least its not as bad as other countries yet. Mad
