I finally got to go spend some quality time with my M1A this past weekend. I can say that I would recommend this rifle to anyone who may be thinking about it. I outshot two other more experienced people that had scoped 30-06 with my non scoped gun. I went through 400 rounds of surplus DAG ammo and left with my shoulder intact and a big grin! I got a 4" group at 300 yards!! Not too shabby for someone who hasnt been to a range in 15 years with a long gun This riffle is one of the best ones i have ever shot. The research I did here and at one other forum before my purchase guided me. Thanks NJGF

Glad you had a good time. I have the Scout Squad and love it.

M1A's are some of the finest 308 semi's out there, everyone should have one.

Great to hear. I have a loaded model coming out on thursday from pk 90. I can't wait to get out this weekend with it.

So, how do you like it? I like this gun enough that I may buy a second one.... probly a scout

I'd love to buy one, but the cost of .308... ugh. Wood stock, scout squad for me... it has a real nice 'look' to it. Maybe in 5 years...

i just bought reloadable .308 ammo non corrosive for 200 bucks per 400 rounds, so the same price as cmp 3006

I love my loaded. Super fun and soft to shoot. A real rifle, for some reason it really speaks to me. I love that big round and shoot heavy rifles well. The sights are the best available in a combat rifle, the mags are indestructible, and the action is smoothing out nicely.

 

i am seriously considering a Sage EBR for it.... But I am going to keep it stock for awhile and really get to know this rifle.

Grats on the rifle.

 

+1 on M1A's. I also love my Scout.
