Springfield Armory M1A
« on: April 20, 2009, 11:44:27 PM »
Anyone have a good reason I shouldn't buy one?

I have saved for 3 years to get one of these rifle's and hopefully I can get one in a relatively short waiting period

Hurry up and get one they kick ass, but the only con is .308 i a bit hard to come by here on socal. If ammo is in good supply M1a is hands down good for hunting,protection, and comp shooting. DPMS heavy metal shoot ;D

If it's what you always wanted and you get something else, you'll still be wanting it.

other then the fact you can get a standard M1 from CMP for less then half, and 30.06 surplus is cheap and easy to find, I can't think of a reason not to get a m1a

So far Thanks!  I'm not a big fan of AR styled guns and if I were to get one it would be in the less popular .308  I have a .30-06 bolt gun and a couple of lines on getting a garand.  I'm planning on reloading so that is another reason to stay with the .30 cal.  Not in the near future but I would guess that .308 will be as plentyful as .30-06 in the post war era.  When ever that will be.  I'm not holding my breath there but someday maybe.

I have one, love it, got a small Government scope (6x), very cool gun. The rifle also comes in different flavors, the Scout and the SOCOM II which I would trade the M1A I have for.

Go for it.

The SOCOM II is my current 'slobber gun'.......every time I see a picture, I slobber all over it....I really want one.

congratulations.  I got a national match in january and I love it.  As far as ammo goes, look on samcoglobal.com, it pretty much has the best ammo for the money.
