I took my SA M1A to the range for the first time last weekend and now I'm HOOKED!! I got the loaded model in black composite and the rifle looked and functioned great. Damn that thing is sure fun to shoot. It took me about 10 rounds to zero in the iron sites and I ran patches through after each.
After that though, I put 100 rounds downrange that day. Basically shooting up all the ammo that was with me. I had no problems with it at all and I was using Milsurp ammo and it took it without any issues.
Towards the end of the day I was pegging coffee cans at 200 yards with some consistancy.
I do have a question though. When zeroing the rifle, I had to dial the windage several clicks to the left. I'm zeroed pretty good now, but the eyepiece indicator line is over 2 lines past center. I'm not sure with the M1A but with that amount, should I be adjusting my front site so I can center the rear site better? I zeroed in at 50 yards and there was no wind to speak of
Otherwise, I can't wait to hit the range again next weekend. This week is gonna drag!!
