I am considering getting a Springfield M1A .308 semi auto. I have fired them extensively at short to medium distances with great success. I am curious, however, if it would fare well as a hunting rifle?
I had never had a non-magazine related malfunction, so could it hold up to the harsh conditions of the north?
Can it be tweaked for greater "sniper" accuracy down the road? I see these National Matches and Super Match M1As and I am curious if they become too tight and therefore lose reliability?
Are there suitable .308 rounds for large game? Extreme Shock USA replied to me in an e-mail that they have .308 rounds they can suggest for use against Grizzly Bears, although I wouldn't intend on testing such a theory out on purpose...
Anyone have an insight to any of this? What is the best MOA accuracy I can expect from a tuned M1A?
Thanks in advance.
