M1A question. Couldn't find the answer in a search and my smith didn't help.
Question is, on the Springfield website they are listed as 7.62 x 51.
Elsewhere I see them listed as .308
I know these two are similar but is there a .308 version that Cannot shoot 7.62? Or other way around? I'd like to be able to shoot both. .308 for the match ammo and 7.62 for the cheap. Or is there really no difference?
Anyone who's bought on recently let me know, i've got one on order and want to make sure i've got the right thing.
(Also... getting an M1a scout. Like the size for ranch/ truck. Still accurate enough within 200-300 yards? (Can't shoot farther anyway...) What kind of groups do you get at 100-200? Should I go for the Standard? (Like the shorty though...)
Thanks!
