I have researched most of the forums I have been on for the past 10+ years and need some honest opinions.
I'm looking at buying either a Springfield Scout or a Socom soon. I plan on using it for mostly range play and as a travel gun. I don't care for the Socom II with the huge rail on the forend so I'm looking at the Socom 16. I know there is going to be a lose with the Socom but out to 300m will it matter?
What problems are to be found with the M1A? I've stuck with the AR platform for years since learning it in the service but think it's time to try a semi auto .308 and I'm drawn to the classic look of the Scout. The Socom 16 looks like a great CQB rifle but how is it one the range?
Thoughts?
