    I'll vote the M1A also.

    I don't know if ammo costs are a factor with you, but they have become so with my choices. I'm starting to consolidate on 5.56 and .40, since I can get those for very little.
    God gave you a soul.
    Your parents, a body.
    Your country, a rifle.

    Keep all of them clean.

      I have the god of reloaders... so im good on ammo.

      Ordered the M1a "loaded" heavy SS with fiberglass stock!
      Its a custom "matching" rifle from SA... I was told it would be ready in 3-6 months. OMG... I HATE waiting! but I got to play with one that is very close to it, so I got a good little fix. besides whats a few months compared to a lifetime.

        should have got the Socom version it's way more bad ***. I like the way it points versus a full-size M1A. plus it has scope rails and weaver rails. good choice though you will probably use that gun more than either of those rifles you mentioned just cause they are so damn fun to shoot and accurate as can be.

          M!A. I have 2. A wood stocked full size and a black fiberglass stocked Scout. I shoot the Scout rifle more than the full size. I used the full size rifle for High Power Matches.

          Save a little at a time for the 1911 later. I have the Stainless Loaded. I use it for carry.

                Everyone I shoot with told me I should get the fiberglass, because the wood would get beat up too easily for what we are doing with them... which is playing hard.

                Check this out... I should pimp my new sport some
                I am shooting in this event next weekend!

                its like paintball but... with bullets. okay, sort of. no one is shooting back, and its only a race. I still think its a little goofy but hey, its guns, good company, and good fun!

                  Very nice, but you need a wood stock

                  or a camo paint job

                          I love my kimber custom!

                              You made the correct choice. As a Springfield resident, born and raised, this is truly one of the things I can be proud of; that and the S&W factory/firing range less than 5 miles away
