It started as a Springfield Scout. Shot it once then installed the Sage MOD 1 chassis, SADLAK spring guide and gas piston. Early summer received the Larue lt-608 mount and color matched USO SN3 1.8-10 EREK knob mil/mil with windage on the left. Haven't really had a chance to shoot it much so I hope to have a range report as soon as my face heals(was assaulted a month ago). Earlier I did have some accuracy problems but I think I have them sorted. Anyway here she is.

If you notice the add on cheek weld, had some trouble getting a good cheek weld even with the highest magpul adapter so i rigged that up until someone produces a higher adapter.

I agree...that is just, plain SEXY!!!

You know...its because of pics like this and all of H2O's @#$%^*& threads/pics on the subject that my next semi-auto build may have to be an "updated" M14/M1A!! I HATE YOU GUYS!!!

It was H2O Man's pics that persuaded me into building one. Very satisfying rifle to shoot. I probably would have spent less money and time on an AR10/SR25 type setup and achieved better results but M1A+Sage chassis=sex haha.

Nothing out dated about that sweet EBR.

Very nice!

I like how you addressed the 'lower than it should be' cheek riser.

thank you...I waited about 20 weeks for the USO, worth every penny spent and every minute waited. I was amazed at the quality when I opened the box. Those guys are great to deal with too, I went back and forth for the first couple weeks deciding on options before settling on the GAP reticule and the options mentioned above. They were also very knowledgeable about the color match, instead of cerakote they ended up just putting a clear type III anodizing on it, the match is pretty damn close and should be tough as nails.

Made me a USO believer for life, just gotta get some more coin to start my bolt gun build

As soon as my face heals I'll get a range report. Most likely with DAG surplus, XM80 and FGMM 175 SMKs. My hopes aren't too high, basically just looking for "minute of man" out to 800. Will only be able to shoot to 200 for now, and eventually 600 when theres another membership meeting for the one and only long range I have access to.

Looks Nice!!!
Be sure to let us know how it shoots





If it shoots,drives FAST or has hair around it--I'm into it

Don't worry about accuracy untill you have put at least 1 full mag through it. Our experience is that it can take anywhere from 3 to 20 rounds for everything to seat in and start really shooting to it's full potential.

The SAGE stripper clip mount combined with Badger Ordnance EBR rings
is the lowest scope mounting system available for the SAGE EBR.

EBRbuilder,

I have 300 rds down rage with it in its current configuration. After our previous discussions(pm's), some things were a little loose. I tightened everything up nice and snug and am now just waiting for my face to heal enough to get a proper cheek weld. Thank you btw.



I had considered many other scope mounting options and settled on the larue for ease and not needing to worry if the receiver mounting point is out of spec or not. Surprisingly my add on cheek riser is pretty solid and should it fail I have spare magpul risers and can just use the chin weld method haha
