I've been eyeing the M1A, but they are expensive. I already have a SLR-95 and a Garand and am thinking that I have all my bases covered. M1A mags are expensive and the Garand clips are pennies relatively. Aside from the larger magazine capacity what other advantage would I have in a M1A over a Garand? I've also been considering the M1A Scout Squad for an all-around utility rifle but I can do anything with the Garand, just a bit heavier and longer.
I already have a scoped Rem 700 in .30-06 and was thinking of keeping the calibers down to a few for logistical reasons, to add a M1A to the collection would mean another caliber to buy for. I do like the .308, but since I am already set-up for .30-06, I'm thinking stick with it and be happy.
