Springfield M1A Scout Rifle Scope Options - Leatherwood LER27X32 - Part 2/2 - The follow-up

[TheZombieRebellion]

I am on the fence, the M1A Socom or M1A Scout Squad.........which do you recommend?

[noBuzzkillin]

@TheZombieRebellion I've been on that fence. One thing that tipped it for me all the obvious factors taken into consideration, was that the scout is compatible with standard M1As as far as replacement parts, whereas the socom isn't. Just what I read, but it tipped the scales for the scout.

[ReconByFiree]

Watched part 1 also, I really appreciate the video! I have the M1A scout also...I was looking for a scope with LER for a while. I was originally looking at leupold's for 300....but I now, now Im going to go with the leatherwood. Thanks man!

[noBuzzkillin]

@ReconByFiree Let me know what you think.

[boontay24]

Funny to recognize that you're shooting at my favorite range--we're lucky to have it. Regarding the Hi-Lux, I've been wondering about a scout scope for my vz58 and this might be the one due to its affordability and apparent quality. With the Leupold rings, it seems like a winner. Nice review and looking forward to more videos.

[noBuzzkillin]

@boontay24 Thanks man.n

[kwgunworks]

Oh hell yeah Christian looking great brother!!! Hope you are having a great weekend!

[noBuzzkillin]

[bluetunder40]

That;s Outstanding Bro!!!

[noBuzzkillin]

@bluetunder40 Thanks very much my friend.

[ebomey]

Looks like a damn nice setup!

[noBuzzkillin]

@ebomey Danke bruder.

[lskw1]

computers around the globe fear you!!.. looks real good man.. def got me thinking about one now.. i found some old footage of the scout that i may put out there soon..its nothing spectacular..lol

[noBuzzkillin]

@lskw1 Yes, they will fear me! I've got those three disks in my office now, just to prove to clients that we take data removal seriously. Yeah man, put that shiit up! I'm always looking for more M1A footage!

[andreaselbaek]

Thats a beautiful rilfe!

[noBuzzkillin]

@andreaselbaek Tak skal du have!!

[GunznGear]

Thanks for the follow up! I haven't messed around with the Scout rifle idea for awhile, but you and oilthegun have got me interested again. Thanks

[noBuzzkillin]

@GunznGear I don't inherently like the aesthetic of the forward mounted optic, but on this rifle it is actually growing on me quite a bit. I really like how the huge amount of eye relief allows me to pick up the cross-hairs in almost any position, using a cheek weld anywhere on the stock..

[youngsoldier93]

@noBuzzkillin Or With rockets? ;) hahaha

[BigJ782011]

@noBuzzkillin Would you put an EOTect Model 512 or 552 holographic sight on your Scout Squad M1A?

[noBuzzkillin]

@BigJ782011 No idea bro. I'm not experienced with Eotechs at all. Probably going to get one very soon, but not for the M1A. People do put rd's on the Scout though.. I know that, so it seems like it should be fine.

[BigJ782011]

@noBuzzkillin What are "rd's"?

[noBuzzkillin]

@BigJ782011 red dots.

[BigJ782011]

@noBuzzkillin Thank you.

[youngsoldier93]

Haha, you should have a "day at the range with NBK" where you can take one lucky subscriber out to shoot some stuff up! Lol

[noBuzzkillin]

@youngsoldier93 That's a thought.. haha.. Like Romper room, but with Aks..

[Ironwitch1811]

Great Rifle NBK

[noBuzzkillin]

@Ironwitch1811 Thanks buddy.

[ArtisanTony]

I prefer these rifles without optics but it looks cool anyway :)

[noBuzzkillin]

@ArtisanTony Honestly, I absolutely prefer the rifle without optics, but for any kind of serious distance, my eyes are just too old and crappy. Also, if I'm going to hunt with this bad boy, I want to offer a clean kill.. With my eyes, I might shoot at the engine room and end up with a butt shot.. ;)

[ArtisanTony]

@noBuzzkillin I understand. I get to the range more often than hunting these days. I guess I need to get Alex out there too :) Thanks!

[SnakeStrike77]

Great vid! Rough condisitons too. Thanks for sharing!

[noBuzzkillin]

@SnakeStrike77 Right on man.

[stlrayedwards]

Man, that rifle is awesome...Love the addition! Great vid, brother!

[noBuzzkillin]

@stlrayedwards Thanks man.

[edgedweapon88]

Great video and excellent information. Thank you very much for sharing this with us.

[noBuzzkillin]

@edgedweapon88 Thanks my friend.

[ITHINKUREALESUK]

very good initial review NBK ! covered alot of questions!

[noBuzzkillin]

@ITHINKUREALESUK Thanks buddy.. Hope you are enjoying the lack of "UMM" this year.. haha. I made myself a New Year's resolution to try and get that out of my videos entirely.. It's awkward as heck, but I'm glad to be getting it under control.. haha.

[robbie574]

Ain't getting nothing off those hard drives! Great job :)

[noBuzzkillin]

@robbie574 My company offers tactical computer waste disposal. ;)

[TheJmac1983]

I love it man that thing is awesome you did a good job on that! Ive been looking at .308 rifles I was going to build the AR10 but I fell in love with the HK PTR 91 I think it will be mine before 2012 is over. We still on for Saturday?

[noBuzzkillin]

@TheJmac1983 Thanks bud. Yes, I think Saturday is going to be good for me. I was having some problems with my Vortex Strikefire this weekend, and I had a good win in a poker game, so I may well be in the market for an Eotech or Aimpoint. You think your buddy would be the best price for something like that?

[TheJmac1983]

@noBuzzkillin Yes he will hook you up for sure he usually has a really good selection of those sights and since I just had him build me another upper he was really happy about me coming back to him for that

[noBuzzkillin]

@TheJmac1983 Very excellent.. I won't order online then.. Any idea what an Aimpoint T-1 or Eotech XPS2 costs from him?

[outdoorrat]

Pretty good eye relief being mounted that far forward? Beautiful rifle brother!

[noBuzzkillin]

@outdoorrat Yeah, no problems whatsoever picking up the optic. Easy as pie.

[kushyushy420]

I was worried there wouldnt be slow mo but you came through in the end LOL

[noBuzzkillin]

@kushyushy420 Haha.. I'm glad I pulled it off for you buddy. Lol..

[enriquesonora1500]

Nice follow-up review. I am glad you are doing this with this type of rifle. I have A Springfield 1903 that will need a scope. However it has a leaf style site and there are scope attachments that place the scope far forward like the Scout. So This review is totally relevant. Also, that rifle is a beast! One big bad boy. Editing and music is excellent.

[noBuzzkillin]

@enriquesonora1500 Thanks buddy. This is a true wolf in sheep's clothing.. many people think its a vintage or even WW2 rifle, and not a modern battle rifle. I love that! Haha.. As for the scope, everything so far is a thumbs up, ESPECIALLY for the price.

[boxdoutfoot]

Again, that is absolutely beautiful rifle. Have been looking foreword to this video since part 1. When I get the chance I would truly love to pick up a M1A scout and pair it with a similar optic. The M1A, in this configuration, could fill so many different roles and seems like it could accomplish just about anything 

[noBuzzkillin]

@boxdoutfoot Thanks very much. I waited about 4 years before I finally got this one.. its always been my favorite rifle, aesthetically (just the M-14 in general). I'm very happy to have this one.

[MegaSurviverman]

Man I love the look of that gun just sexy as hell...I am going to need a moment..lol

[noBuzzkillin]

@MegaSurviverman Haha... Take two!

[TheGoodOlBoyzChannel]

are you gonna put a bipod on it?? or can you?



[noBuzzkillin]

@TheGoodOlBoyzChannel Yes I can absolutely. And yes, I might.

[OilTheGun]

Nice. May go this route after I get another hunting rifle.

[noBuzzkillin]

@OilTheGun If you don't want to break the bank, it looks like a pretty good option.

[WhereAreTheGuns1]

Bad azz rifle man

[noBuzzkillin]

@WhereAreTheGuns1 Thanks bub.

[GARYMANDIEVAN]

I'm loving that Rifle and scope it would be a great set up for hunting , Thanks

[noBuzzkillin]

@GARYMANDIEVAN I look forward to my first hunt some time this year hopefully.. If you think its a sufficient rig for that, then I'm sure it'll do just fine.. thanks for watching brother.
