Good afternoon!
I am now the owner of a Socom II which is being mounted in a Sage EBR today... I purchased this rifle for the purpose of hog hunting, which I plan to do for the first time in a couple of weeks. I have an Eotech EXPS2-0 on one of my ARs, and thought I'd start out using that on the Socom. I figure it should be good enough for shooting some pigs, but will want to find a nice optic specifically for this rifle. I figure to be shooting mostly in the 100-300yd range, and was contemplating the Eotech G23 3x magnifier... Has anyone mounted this setup on an M1A in a Sage EBR? I know I'll need to get the Sage cantilever sight base, but, having no experience with the magnifier, have no idea if it will all fit on the sight base... I like the idea of being able to switch to close quarters sights fairly quickly, and am looking at 1-4 scopes as well... I figure an Eotech setup with magnifier would be around $850 total, so let's call that the upper limit of what I'd want to spend right now. Any and all suggestions and opinions would be appreciated! Thanks so much guys!
