I shot my recently procured Springfield M1A Loaded at the range today. I also brought along an NHM-91 ak-47 that had never been fired as well. Both rifles were a pleasure, but the M1A made me a believer in one sitting.
I have long admired the M1A and finally found the right deal at the right time. Not only was I not disappointed, it exceeded my expectations for feel and function. After I adjusted the sights, I put 17 rounds into a 3" circle from a seated position resting on a table using foriegn military surplus labeled r1-m1.
The function was flawless, the recoil was less than I expected and it just feels right. Me and my teenage daughter put about 150 rounds throught the Springfield and we both loved it immediately. Even with the increased recoil, my daughter prefered it to the ak-47. Her first shot was dead nuts bullseye and her groups were nearly as good as mine.
I have waited nearly 20 years to own this gun and it is just as good as I dreamed it would be.
