Yup me to and this is the first set up that I actually was looking for some LOP adjustmentsThat scope would be 2 inches inside my head if I was shooting the irons.
I might have to go with some narrow rings and push it forward a bit still.

As a smith and machinist. I can tell you that there's no reason for the M1A to cost more than $100 more than a Mini-14. The makers, distributors, wholesalers and FFL's just know that 308 fans are suckers, so they charge you twice as much. Why not just a used $300 Savage 308 bolt action for hunting and a $500 AR15 in 223 for combat-survival? The 223 can be of a handy size and weight (with enough ammo) with a silencer mounted. The m1A cannot. The silencer makes all the difference in the world. So does subsonic .22 ammo in the Ciener .22lr conversion unit for the AR. It's $300, 3/4 lb, 10 second caliber swap, groups 2" or better at 50yds. About half of them need a bit of smithing to be reliable. Most need a shim under the extractor spring, due to empty cases not getting ejected clear of the gun now and then.

Theres no reason why the mini 14 should be more than $500.As a smith and machinist. I can tell you that there's no reason for the M1A to cost more than $100 more than a Mini-14.

Theres also those that have a name for those ARsMaybe some people just like the M1 platform rifles...despite being ‘suckers’ :/
Why not just buy a Winchester 94 in 30-30 and be done with the whole thing for deer and survival and home protection...why? Because you wouldn’t use a sledge hammer on a brad nail. Different strokes, man.
Half my rifle collection are M1’s and M14’s...so I might not be the person to make an opinion on who’s not a sucker.
If you'd like to put your check from Donald to good use, how about a Bula forged receiver M14 ? (too bad it wasn't a $2k check)
