Springfield Armory M1a?

[Snipersnest]

That a class 3??? Doesn't look like a civilian model with the selector block on it. I have a MG license, but not the money to buy one!

Not quite, just a dummy selector to fill the void on my surplus M14 stock :-D

You need to get your hands on some Federal Gold Medal Match 168 gr for medium range work, and some 175 gr for long range, and you'll be set.

"I don't want no teenage queen, I just want my M14!"


This is 181 yds with iron sights, and this nut behind the butt:


IIRC, that's a 2" (maybe 3") Birchwood Casey sticker, on a .22 silhouette. My wife's uncle and I were shooting them at close to 200 yds with relative ease. To put it in perspective, these silhouettes themselves are small enough that they fade out of your vision when you acquire the proper sight picture, and you just have to trust your front sight, but the M1A is so easy to shoot well. It really is a "can't miss" rifle once you get it dialed in.

You need to get a small notebook to keep DOPE in. Get a BSZ and count your come-ups. Make sure you right it down. If your sight ever gets bumped, you can always get your zero back.

Congratulations, you chose a fine rifle.
