Serious potential users of this rifle need to know of the existence of these amazing systems. We had the loan of some scopes with state-of-art add-ons set up specifically for the M14 that bear close scrutiny. We got our prices out of the maker’s catalog and may have missed a few things, so it’s best to contact Fulton for an exact quote on your needs. With the Leupold scope, the tag would be about $4,620 as tested. The total package, less scope but with mount and rings, came to $3,770. To the basic rifle price ($2,500) must be added the prices for the gorgeous McMillan M3A stock ($600), the ARMS steel scope mount ($150), extended rail ($100), bipod ($70), swivel package ($100), and a leather sling ($50). (There are undoubtedly other firms making them, and we’ll look at them when we get a chance.) We obtained one of each, put them through our wringer, and present the results here. Brookfield Precision Tool developed that mount for its XM25 rifle, which was the accurized M14 bedded into a McMillan stock, a configuration that is the forerunner of one of our rifles tested below, by Fulton Armory.Īccurized M14s designated as M21s are being produced today by Springfield Armory in Illinois, Armscorp in Baltimore, and by Fulton Armory, in Savage, Maryland. In the 1980s the truck-strong Brookfield mount became available, and it is still considered to be the best scope mount for M14 rifles. The “official” M21 rifle was thus a fully accurized M14 with the addition of a 3-9X Leatherwood-modified Redfield or similar scope in a thumb-screw-attached side mount. As you may know, the M21 is the designation (from about 1972) that was eventually given to the M14 National Match (NM) rifle. 308 M14, but no matter what its many fans may claim, there’s an even more ardent group that states there’s a better rifle than the M14, namely the M21. Some admirers of the M14 feel no mil-type rifle in any caliber has ever surpassed the. The fine M14 lives, and is undoubtedly in action somewhere in the world as this is written.
