M1A if you want .308 otherwise buy a BCM and be done
I like the M1A, and like the M1A (and Garand) sights. But I need something I can put an optic on (and M1A SOCOM or so). Irons don't do me much good anymore, for the most part.
An AR carry handle might work, but I'd have to try it and see. *No pun intended*

Not super-hard to mount an optic on an M1A. The problem is adding $150-200 to the cost of the rifle to make it optic ready as opposed to the various AR-10 style rifles that come with rails.

Springfield & others make mounts:

M1A™ 4th Generation Aluminum Scope Mount - M1A™ Accessories (springfield-armory.com)

Several companies make rail systems:

PTR-91 A3R might be worth looking at.
Has a rail, mags are dirt cheap.

Personal experience... the Springfield mount comes loose under recoil.

Get a Smith Enterprises or a Basset.

My 1983 Nolan Ryan Astros Topps card is one of my most prized possessions. Even if it isn't crazy valuable.
The old school uniforms were pretty cool. I used to collect Nolan Ryan cards back in the day. Some company had a Nolan Ryan and Tom Seaver dedicated set. Pretty cool stuff.

I can hear the cars from Dixie Speedway on my porch. They ran a demolition derby earlier and they are running late model right now. Waterless boat races on the 26th. Gonna try to go to that one probably.
