This is accredited to the scope mount and shorter barrel adding stiffness to the barrel.
#BUDS GUN SHOP LRB M14 FULL#
I've read articles proclaiming that the scout is more accurate than the full length. If I could go back and do it all over again still purchasing a M1A, I would buy the scout or socom. I have hunted with it, shooting deer almost 400yrds and killing them clean with 168 SMKs and good shot placement. Its reliable, accurate, and a great piece in my collection. Also put a scope mount on it and made it sort of the poor mans M21 setup. I bought it with the black synthetic stock, later I upgraded to the USGI wood stock with the metal hinge butt plate. I bought it in the "loaded" package and got a pretty good deal off Gun Broker. M21A5 CH EBR SASS with a heavier butt stock that offers a fully adjustable cheek riser. I'm currently investigating further balancing my Give it more weight and you capitalize on physics. It doesn't make the rifle more makes the rifle more stable and easier to shoot accurately.Ī body at rest tends to stay at rest. When I shot service rifle we used to pack our buttstocks with lead shot or pennies to weigh the guns down. The M1A is essentially a long gun and better suited for precision work than charging through alleys or the bush, unless we're talking about a tanker. My decision was partially based on weight.
