Will this scope work with a forward mount on my M1a scout rifle

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Jonathan D., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on June 06, 2019

This scope has an eye relief between 3.74" - 4.17" depending on magnification, which is not ideal for a scout (forward) mounted scope.

They are solid turrets and would not be accidentally adjusted easily. It does have a zero lock so return to zero will be very easy in the event it is accidentally adjusted.

where are leupold scopes made

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Carly R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on September 25, 2017

The lens systems are designed at Leupold, by American optical engineers. The glass is then procured from vendors who must meet quality standards. Some of these sources are located domestically, some are European, and some are Asian.
