M1A losing ground to other 308's?

Well, I don't own any .308s and my only box-fed longgun is a Marlin M45 carbine that I bought for around the house.

Having said that, my heart sits with the M1A. Yea, it might not be all that an a bag of chips, but, dangit, it's steel and wood. There's something about a rifle made out of something other than plastic and aluminum that really gets to me. And I'm sure it's more accurate than I need.

Of course, I'll be getting in to the AR15 world, and might buy Bushmaster's .308 for commonalities sake. But, the M1A will always be that special girl.
 
I've had my Super Match since 97 and love it to death. shoots awesome with Port,Hirtenburger, Radway and I use it for CMP service rifle competition. if you have to ask "M1A..WHY?? you will never understand. Original Bedding job still going strong. I shot a 474 out of 500 using Radway on a 100 yd scale down course. Could I be better with a AR?? sure. but it would not be as much fun for me and that's why a love my M14 so much. Honestly...when I shoot my FAL, it is not that big of a thrill. I have not shot it for a while (couple of years) and took it out last month and ran 200 rds thru it. it's no tack driver, but good battle rifle accuracy. horrible trigger, sights nothing to write home about. if I sold it. I most likely would not miss it at all. now if I ever sold my M1A......:eek:
