M14 with EOTech reflex sight? Nice.

What kind of rail system is that? And what did you pay for the basic?

You are right. That is the Springfield SOCOM II with the OEM rail system. I have a gunsmith who is a great machinist. He moved the top rail system back 4 inches so I could utilize the Eotech with the 3X magnifier. I have it set up or close quarter combat. The 3X magnifier is springloaded and pivots out of the line of site with a simple click. If you need to reach out to 150-200 yards you can slap the magnifier back in place

A lot of folks don't like the weight and kick of the 7.62x51 for CQ but I am a big ol boy and don't have a problem with it.  It leaves no ambiguity regarding your intent and will take out most body armor.

I have no problem with .308, just wondering what your M14 cost ya? My dad had a polytech m14 unfortunately it was confiscated :(

The base rifle with the quad rail system is about $1500-1599 range.
