Newbie - dot sight with magnification for multipurpose M1A?

I'm pretty much totally in the dark on this one. Direction/ideas? My hope is to have a good short/medium range setup.

Thanks!

Aimpoint and Eotech are the best.

I've heard very good things about the Leatherwood CMR.

I'm not sure the eye relief is enough for the forward mount on a scout, sorry. :(

I have a Trijicon Tri Power with chevron. Can't say enough good about it.

Aimpoint/EOTech on a rail above the barrel in front of receiver, install a small rail on the stripper clip guide slot and mount the magnifier there, easy peasy

I didn't think of that, but it's OK as it's not looking like I'll be getting a Scout. Dang, I cannot wait...
