Well thanks for all of the sugestions. The ammo won't be a big deal because I can't get out and shoot alot, besides every now and then in the summer and oviusly (sorry I can't spell worth anything) in the summer. The other m1a's are an option, and considering how much I have loved upgrading my Remington sps .308 varmit (fyi I'm putting an HS tactical thumbhole and I've got some good ol' rust oleum camo paint, I wish I knew how to post pictures).
Howerver the direct impingment system has got to be reliable or the U.S. Millitary wouldn't still have em' this long.
And since I won't be fightin' against anything but deer and paper I won't be in a life endangering situation where a failure won't cost me my life only possible meat. So about less than what 60 rounds every time I can get an opportunity to go and shoot, it 'spect it'll be reliable enough to get the gob done, they look pretty cool out of the factory. I'm not looking for match grade accuracy only a solid 1-1.5 MOA. And the DPMS rifles from what I can hear are good in the reliable and accuate department, aulthou (spelling once again) the M1A are good in that department. The Marines use em' for their DMR rifles and the Army is now adopting the M110 for their primary sniper rifle, man if I could only get my hands on one of those beauties.......sigh.
The Euro FALs are good, I don't know mabye I just love American designs, I'm pretty baised, so don't get me even started on the R700 or Surgen Actions vs. Anything (aultho I'd love a AI rifle in .308 with a 20" barrel).
By the way how accurate is an out of the box chinesse or Morrico M1A with no sage or troy stock of course.
