I just bought this for a Springfield M1A. How hard will it be to compensate for .308 with the side elevation adjustment considering the difference?

As I understand things, the answer is two fold. First, the sight is a mil dot scope so it functions like any other mil dot and therefore, if you use the mil dot tables, it will work with any caliber gun. But, second, the turret for .223, 55 gr, 3100 fps can be swapped out for a .308 if you will provide Leupold with the details of bullet weight, fps for the particular ammo, etc. I've read that someone did this for $60. I have an email in to them for details. But again, it's a mil dot scope so the appropriate tables will work fine with just a little more work involved.

I have a Mark AR MOD 1 3-9x40mm, and have ordered a different BDC dial from their custom shop to use on my 6.8 SPC II flattop. You provide Leupold with the particulars of your favorite ammo. In the case of a 308 Win, I might have a dial made for a 168 gr OTM with muzzle velocity of 2650 f/s. I think you can have just about any caliber and ammo matched to a custom dial for several of their scopes. Contact Leupold custom shop.

It will also fit 308 as well. Check midway USA i believe they are less than $5

lol I have this on a .308 keltec rfb which kicks way harder than the air rifle. it will be fine. very good scope btw.

Yes, I used this on a 308 as well. Great scope for the money. I can easily shoot .5 now.

I use it on a .308 and have it on a picatinny rail system so I can remove it. After over 200 rounds, multiple removals, storage, transport, and various bumps it still holds true. It really depends which .50 bmg you put it on. If a Barret it should be fine. With others I don't know. As for adjustment it has a lot. Will it compensate for drop at 2000 m? Probably not. 1000m? Definitely.

Yes, BUT! Make sure during your range time to check and tighten the screws every few rounds or so. On my Mosin the rail would slightly shift forward and after every 20 or so rounds I would need to readjust the mount. Having to readjust will effect the zero slightly, but it's nothing frustrating, in my case anyway.

It should fit the. 308. Attaches to the rear sight and butt stock. I don't think there is any difference between a 7.62 and 308 in that regard. Not a bad rail, but the sight is absolute garbage. I'm thinking of putting a TWS peep sight on it as a back up to my red dot.

Works great on a .308. You will need an adapter if the rifle doesn't have a sling post. This bipod attaches to a rounded post with a hole in it. Harris makes any adapter needed.

Will probably work well. I have mine on a Springfield M1a that's fires a 308 round. With the shock from the round and the movement of the bolt because its a semi auto it gets alot of vibration. It holds it's zero and have had no problems.

I let a friend of mine hold it on his AR-15 and he didn't complain about it. Now I don't know about a 308.

I have M&P 15 and it brings you to the perfect height. Works well with both scopes I have. Red Dot and UTG x9.

In my estimation if it goes back the exactly same way you took it off and nothing has been altered or changed with the scope settings or scope rings and or mount rail settings then it should work fine. The better part of valor though in my thinking is never hurts to check out your guns accuracy before going hunting especially. Can't swap the scope and mounts to another weapons though and expect the same accuracy as the one it was on. Every gun has it's own idiosyncrasies and is unique unto it's self.

The mount will stand true on a 308. I would suggest that you get a scope that can withstand the recoil.

I have two of these. One mounted on a S&W; M&P; 10 (.308) that I've swapped the flash suppressor out for a muzzle brake. Has 18" barrel. Normally shoot Sierra 168 grain HPBTs in hand loads. Last outing I was getting sub-moa results. Have the other mounted on Armalite AR-31 (.308) with 24" barrel. Have shot better than 1/2 moa with the same hand loads. I never worry about the BDC feature since that is pretty dependent on using specific factory ammo. I can wing it on longer shots pretty easily. Great scopes.

It's a great optic for the money. Having used it for a while now though on an 18" AR, I wish I had gone with the 3-9 and would recommend that for your M1A.

Recoil shouldn't be an issue, I swapped it on a 30-06 and it worked fine...I might be concerned about the eye relief if it were mounted too close to the stock on the shotgun though.

This sight has a mil standard post just like on any other AR/m16 adjustable for elevation. Any standard mil spec post should fit just fine. You don't necessarily need a tool to adjust it. I used a small nail to depress the plunger and it worked fine, though I now have the tool. Also, choose your rear sight carefully. Some fronts and backs don't work well together This one works fine with the flip up UTG rear (which does not have elevation adjustment), but won't work with some other varieties due to their lack of elevation adjustment, or not enough adjustment to get them aligned properly.
