Lots of people like the 308: a good blend of power, range, compactness, price, versatility.
Lots of people like the M1A. (I can hear the FAL fans getting agitated...)
But is the M1A losing ground in the sami-auto battle rifle arena to other rifles? namely, the reintroduction of the AR-10? or will the coming of the higher-capacity magazines for the 308 Saiga usurp the M1A from its lofty position?
That Saiga has the AK thing going for it: ruggedness and simplicity. Is it accurate like the M1A? or cn it be made to be so?
I am searching for the perfect 308 MBR and I thought sure it would be an M1A. But now with the Bushmaster 308 and Siaga promising to make larger cap mags for theirs... my resolve is weakening!
Any thoughts?
