Let me preface this with the following.
What I really want is an Armalite AR-10. But the PRK won't let me have one.
So, the next best thing seems to be the M1a. I'm too wussy to shoulder it though.
I have a Remington 7400 that I like, especially it's 6lb weight. But no >10 round mags, and mags over 4 rounds really aren't that reliable.
I do have pre-ban 20 rounders for the M14 already. (big factor here in PRK.)
Should I get one? Are they really worth $2k? What I want is basically a 18" DM type rifle. Maximum element resistance is a must, no wood.
Can I lighten the damn thing up? With a scope & holosite, and bipod it's going to weigh a ton. Gun's no good if I can't move with it and gets me killed.
I want it to be a 1MOA gun, and have as good handling charestericts as I can get.
Does Springfield make a M25 in 18"? Are the NM chambers and mechanisms as reliable as the plain M1a? As the M14?
