I am in the market for a Springfield M1A and I am wondering how much difference the bbl length makes in terms of accuracy and other functions. I am leaning toward the scout (18") as opposed to the SOCOM (16") or the standard (22"). My thinking is just to split the difference. I am not going to be competing, just want the gun for fun. If it won't make much difference I may get the SOCOM just for ease of use etc. What are everyone's thoughts/ advice?
