My father just purchased a Springfield M1A and would like to put a scope on it. I am looking for recommendations on what scope would work for this application. I know that It has to have a long eye relief because of the forward position of the mount.

David, I would highly recommend the 308 calibrated Primary Arms ACSS Retical Scope(I use two on my AR-10's and love them)  :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtVhZIyh5gc   ------------   https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-4-14x44mm-riflescope-acss-hud-dmr-308-223-reticle

Great article on pew pew tactical (goofy name but great site) on just such a topic, they recommend several LPVO'S and they range in price

I think best bang for your buck is the Vortex PST gen2 viper
