Recommend an M1 Garand scope mount

[Dieudonne' Saive.]

My eyes are not what they used to be, so I require a bit of optical assistance nowadays, and would like to mount a vintage 20mm scope on an M1 Garand weapon. Obviously, it would need to allow the use of the en bloc clips...

What the best/lowest scope mount for this weapon. Can someone please enlighten me on this subject please?

Looks good, but...
" The M1 Garand CASM® scope mount is designed to mount your scope inline with the bore and requires the use of a Holbrook Device (or SLED device) to preclude the ejection of the M1 Garand en bloc clip. "

Yes it precludes the use of en blocks in the prescribed manner but that's the trade off in mounting optics on a rifle that was never intended to be optically sighted.

It's a bit fiddly to begin with but once you get used to loading rounds one at a time it's not so bad.

The CMP markets a milled aluminum scout mount you remove the upper handguard to mount it will take a red dot or long relief pistol scope
