like goldman said - the ones mounted up front tend to be aimpoint/eotech RDS sights -no magnification, just a red dot/cross for fast target aquisition.

if you want magnification you'll want to mount it closer, especially since most of these (magnification) scopes tend to have a smaller field of view. if youre going this way i advise against anything more powerful than a 2 or 3x (i got two 3-9x which i use on the 3x setting and they're still way too powerful - you can see the bb's arching down while at long range theyre actually out of view). im not sure about the long eye relief (never used one) - would that really work with goggles or a full mask?

and yeah, i agree with greylocks, a reflex would look just wrong on an m14. might want to try an aimpoint instead.
