I've been thinking about going to some type of optic on my Springfield M1-A SOCOM 16. I finally went with a Scout Scope from Hi-Lux Optics. It's a 2-7X that has about the perfect eye relief for the task at hand.
I liked it a bit better than the Vortex of the same type. It has the BDC reticle that allows you to zero at 200 yards. Then allows for a dead on hold out to 600 yards. (Further than I'll be shooting this gun).
For rings I went with the Burris XTR Signature Zee Rings. They have the polymer inserts that hold really well, and allow for most any degree of MOA offset you could want.
So far it looks and feels good, and I like the setup. Hopefully next week I'll get it out to the range to wring it out. As I get older I'm finding iron sights and I get along less and less. Especially at any type of distance.
