so, I have a mini 14 which ‘famously’ is ‘totally inaccurate’. I use it for plinking when I can go with buddies and esp kids if I’m ever able to get on a ranch and mess around. For less than 100 yards I’ve never found it to be poor in accuracy. OK, I’m not taking it to competitions, but I’m not good enough to compete anyway...
It seems that the M1A has a similar reputation. If Patton felt their big brother was the greatest battle implement then it seems to me that platform will have some similar characteristics and Patton didn’t think them so inaccurate that they weren’t still good... High praise in my mind.
Now I have shot an M1A exactly one session and it was at a ranch where we exploded every bit of limestone we pointed at (when we did our part). All way under 100 yards, I’d say 50-80 or so, just across the draw.
I read ‘every M1A needs to have these 5 things done...’ But I want to be serious: for the purpose described above, or for SHTF, just picking one up out of the box, I imagine this gun will cost me a fortune in ammo??? Am I right??? I don’t want to buy a gun then spend several hundred more on upgrades...
I’m thinking one of their wood stock scouts probably. not one of their more expensive models...
Thanks for the advice...
