Hey guys,

Long time reader, first time poster.

I have the opportunity to pick up a used S&B 2.5-10, #8 reticle, for $700. I have owned my M1A for about 8 years, and have only shot open sights. I have an ARMS mount, but never put optics on it.

I'd like to use the scope to shoot 100 - 800 yards.

Wanted to get y'alls opinion on this scope, quirks or deficiencies with it, or any issues or things to be aware of in putting it on an M1A. I'm pretty much a noob with optics, and even though $700 looks like a good deal, it's still a lot of cheese for me.

Scope

First off. Depending on the condition of the scope, if in good shape, you got a good deal. Starting off with a scope of that caliber will jade you for anything less. Let us know how how you like it and a range report when everything is mounted and in place.
