Anthony,
The M14/M1A and M1 Garand, have arguably the best sights ever placed on a combat rifle. I am sorry if I seem to be quibbling.
As far as scopes go, why, if you want a tack driver set one up as a long range dinger! Get a bolt action, cheaper and more accurate with a greater range of ammo.
If you are thinking along the lines of red dot, go with a M1A scout rifle from Springfield with with the rail set up forward of the reciever and shortened barrel. Can also place a scout scope also.
If you want to scope a rifle, find something easy to scope, and spend the money to make it accurate enough to justify the scope.
Springfield makes a M1A version for about 2500 dollars that ought float your boat if scoped is what it's about for you.
Hey, the FN is a good design, the M14 is/was better.
Good luck with what ever you choose. Oh and get what you want, if you don't you will just wind up trading/selling what you get to get what you want. Just go for it!
