Oh great and wise THR rifle gurus- for what ever reason I’ve been jonesing for a shorter semi auto .30 cal rifle; I know I know, it doesn’t fit with my ‘.257 and under’ mantra but what the heck. I’ve narrowed it down to two: Tanker Garand or M1A bush rifle.
I NEED a Garand, and I love the idea of the tanker version. I can pick up a Fulton Armory made tanker for about $1100 or I get the bush/squad scout version of the M1A, I already have a full size M1A so I have plenty of full cap magazines. The whole ‘scout rifle’ concept is lost on me so I don’t see me ever using the forward mount scope thingy. And I’ve seen them in the same ball park price wise.
Can someone please make a solid case one way or the other?
