We have been working on this old Springfield M1A to accurize it. This is going to be part 1 in a series on the rifle. For this we are going to look at the Nikon P308 Rfile scope, specifically designed for 308 applications.

I like the safety in that position as well, only people that are incompetent would be worried about a safety being near the trigger. Besides if you plan to carry the thing with your finger on the trigger your an idiot.
" I don't like the safety " You sound like a Gay!!! Worthless review from a guy who licks cheeto dust from his dick shaped fingers.
Wow powerful gun most of all like it .see like that http://guntradervideos.com/watch/rapid-manual-trigger-manipulation-rubber-band-assisted_GENRJsteyqKL9tx
Nice
What's funny is this gun is not included in the 2018 assault weapons ban bill.
Vortex makes a Wayyyy better scope than Nikon. NO doubt about that.
I love the safety placement, but to each their own.
wow nc
I found the safety to be a bit awkward and a bit stiff to be able to flick it forward with the index finger , apart from that it's great fun and my boy can shoot targets with it as well , it's a bit on the heavy side for hunting but I've taken a deer with it which I'm pretty happy about
this guy did not hit half of his target you can tell by angel and minutes by angel but he talks the talk but he don't walk the walk
lying prone on the gravel to shoot, that must suck.
Somehow, I think you are a little too big to do the run and hide thing. Maybe swaggering along with a M60 blazing would be a better look.
Thanks! I have been eyeing that rifle for quite a while. Some of the problems that have kept me from pulling the trigger (figuratively and literally) is the trouble with the cheek riser. As I understand it this weapon was never meant for optics when it was originally designed. Is there a fix for this issue? One if the things for me as far as consistent accuracy has always been repeatability and muscle memory. Is there anything that can be done as a permanent or at least semi-permanent solution that would ensure I get the same position and feel every time I pick up the rifle?
It's not a GUN. It's a RIFLE!!!!!!
how ever you did it , you make a good video
What a dumb vidio
Please let me see how precicion that thing is on 100 m, .. i use h&k mr7.62 …u hold that Level with the this rifle?
It's a combat rifle design, not a deer hunting rifle. The safety is a brilliant feature. Left or right handed, doesn't matter. The GI who put his finger on the trigger to shot an enemy knew instantly whether or not his safety was on and with a simple push forward with the back of his trigger finger, could disengage it. There was no "forgetting" his safety in the heat and stress of the moment and missing the shot because he pulled against an engaged safety.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!! Amazing production quality. AWESOME!
What would you do if you didn't have all the extras? Boring, so much for the real shooters, by the way!
Where is the accuracy?
group,target,cold bore hits?
I now own an M1A and have no issues with the Springfield (CheckMate Inds) magazines…whats up with the bad mouthing of them?
I also use the Korean, teflon coated mags, having no issues with them either!!!!
As others with military experience have mentioned, the safety is probably the easiest and fastest of any military arm ever fielded…begininng with the M1 Garand and M14 rifle!
what is the difference between the p-308 and the m-308 ?
Steel targets give a report. I didn't hear one report. Hmmm…..
I'm putting a Leupold Mark4 6.5-20X on my M-1A Loaded.
Using Sadlak's mount and cheek riser.
what rail do you have on their?
I appreciate your evaluation. I have seen this scope and wondered about it. I am not a gun snob and can not afford to put a two thousand dollar scope on a seven hundred dollar rifle. You know you did a good job when every chest beater in the land shows up to criticize your work.
lets see those targets
Is there more than 1 version of the P-308? I've got one, but it's a 1" tube 4-12×40 with no parallax adjustment. I know the scope says P-308 on it, but it almost seems like a M-308. I love mine on a Savage Axis XP, but would have loved to get the parallax adjustment too. Guess that's what the next build will be for, ha.
Nice cheek rest
Safety inside the trigger guard is the best safety. Why? Your finger should NEVER be on the trigger unless you're willing to destroy whatever is on the other end of your muzzle. Therefore, having the safety inside of the guard is arguably the safest, most logical placement for the safety switch.
