Which is more desirable?

What are the pro's and con's?

M1a will out shoot a AR10 for accuracy. M1a is more desirable than an Ar10. JM.02 I have had both. My Ar10 was a T 24" target model and my SA M1a was more accurate out to 600 yards.

I have shot both, and I like the M1A better. M1A was the more accurate one for me....M1A is heavier, so that may make a difference to you.

the ar is more friendly to shoot large quantities of rounds through. the m1a much more accurate and reliable.

The M14, (M1A) is the best killing stick on the planet............behind the Barrett

Great this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

Brand new M1A synthetic stock $1100.

I have a couple buddies with M1A's national match. Use the the iron sights to shoot milk jugs filled with water at 300 yds kneeling. You can't miss, they are a beautiful weapon. I agree with EZRider......

That's one hell of a deal! Who, and where?

Some guy took it on payment for website work for a local gun dealer. He shot it 5 times and I think he got scared. A friend of mine is his neighbor and he told me about it. So technically I guess its not "new".

Get both.

But yes... an M1A

That is very close to 50% off the retail price.....I know where a new AR10 is for around $1200 right now ....

Shooting the flies off a prairie dogs azz at 600 yds..............

A local guy quoted me $1800 today but said he cant get them. He said they all are going to the military.

Thats what I'm talking bout brother

Units in Afganistan are requesting M14's.
They need the distance and knock down power.

there is a new one on the wall at the shop I frequent .....

That rifle belongs to an old buddy from Montana.
He did his time in the USMC as a scout sniper.
It's a beautiful weapon, and deadly accurate.
That picture was taken this past summer.

Montana, huh imagine that.
I am working on training my boys (10 and 11) for that very purpose.

I may inquire about that. My buddy is looking for one also.

My dad taught me to shoot early on, he was an old WWII vet,
said shootin was a skill best learned before somebody is shootin back.
Good job with the boys, they might just thank you later.

okay, so how did it go? "This is MY rifle! There are many like it, but this one is MINE! Without my rifle I am useless. Without me my rifle is useless!"

If you point it, shoot it, if you shoot it, kill it....................

This is my rifle this is my gun! This is for fighting this is for fun!


the M1a just reminds me of that movie...sorry to hijack!

M1A...with a few mods of course! AR10 isn't bad, just get both! This will solve all your problems!

That movie is a classic. My "adopted son" that just went into the Army and I sat down before he left and watched that movie, he about pissed himself, it was great.

Thats a killer gun (pun intended).

I will believe me.

What scope is that?

Exotica, what's the bullet drop on that .308 at 900 yards? It's gotta be one heck of a drop at that distance..

Somewhere around 150" at 900yds.
Depends on the ammo and individual weapon.

At 900 w/.308 168 Gr, BTHP I'm coming up 28 clicks. Compare that to a 300Gr. .338 round, same distance only comes up 22.75 clicks.

Gun Pron!!!!!!!!

I have a M1A National Match...love it.

Just read thru this,,,,anyone have a ciggarette?

Any thoughts on these stocks? I need an adjustable and want a bi-pod. How about scopes? Any suggestions on which would best compliment this set up?
