I'm trying to find a dealer that has M1As in stock. Thanks for your help and time!

No problem Jason G - no need to apologize. I was still following the thread and getting everybody's thoughts. There's alot of information in that thread that I've used. I still haven't made a choice.

Still shopping around for an M1A (possibly a Garand or AR) but haven't fully made up my mind. I just read a review of the M1A Scout and I'm wondering if the National Match version is necessary? I was considering the Standard but it looks like the Scout got some nice remarks. Also - wood...

Lefty? One last question before I ride off into the sunset - Will firing lefty be a problem with the M1A? I am right handed but have swung a bat and everything else lefty. Lefty is actually where I would feel comfortable with a rifle.

Eyes Now that I think about it - I think I was closing my eyes on some of the shots. I need to get our for a 2nd round.

That is a pretty hefty price tag. I'll have to weigh the options. Everybody's thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated. This is a great board. Thank you!!

Springfield? Is the Springfield standard sufficient? Any other recommendations?

Point well taken, IndianaBoy. I guess practicing with a 22 makes sense to get the motion/trigger/resetting aim makes sense. I'm guessing that is recommended. I don't know why but I thought practicing with the gun you'll be using all the time to adapt to the kick would be the way to go...

Yeah...I guess the SHTF thing is pretty ridiculous. Maybe I'll do the 22LR thing. I just thought it may be nice to start of with a one and only gun to have forever. I didn't do too badly yesterday. 12 out of 50 outside the orange on a 25 yard target. The remaining were all in the orane.

What about M1 from http://www.thecmp.org/ What about an old M1 from http://www.thecmp.org/?

I guess I'm looking for a SHTF rifle. I see the poll says AR....Hmmmmm.... I just like the look of the M1A. I'll have to test one out.

Have my first shooting lessons yesterday (with pistols) and would like to also become proficient with a decent rifle. Is an M1A overkill for somebody who is new to shooting? I'm figuring that I would like my 1st by to be my main rifle that I will learn on and continue to shoot with forever...
