M1A???

JesseLee

I have been looking that the M1A's for some time now and I am having a hard time deciding which unit to purchase. Personally I do like the Match grade model but also like tho SOCOM as well. Here is my question. Which one give you the most bang for the buck? I plan on keeping it for a very very long time. Let me know what you think to help me make the best decision for me.

Well a lot of it depends on what you plan on using it for. I prefer the the full length for an all around rifle. I just picked up a Sage EBR stock to make a more compact rifle for shorter ranges and I may pick up a SOCOM to put in that stock.

If you are not planning on shooting much past 500yrds either would be good. If you plan on doing some long range shooting I think you will do much better with the full length.

I mainly plan on using it for long range shooting. Currently, I am leaning towards http://www.springfield-armory.com/armory.php?model=14

Let me know what you think

Go with the standard or match model. They will be the best for what shooting you want to do.

After firing an M1 rifle, & then moving to the M14, it seemed to me that the M14 felt like a carbine. The full size M14/M1A just has a "handy" feel, & all the shortened versions solve a problem that doesn't really exist.

Go with the full length, it'll be perfect for the way you want to shoot
