Hey folks!
I've come here for gun advice before, y'all seem to know your stuff!
My father suggested getting me a firearm for my graduation gift (graduating in May, after a 5 year program) and I figured that's a fine idea. Started looking at my "dream list" of guns and my top two are an M1A and a Kimber 1911 set up for carry. I figure either of those would make a great gift, something that I'd enjoy, and keep forever.
But anyway, I'm looking into different M1A's and wondering if anyone has any opinions or specific experiences? I'd like a Springfield, none of the fancy smaller companies. I've been told to look into the scout squad, as its a good compromise between size and performance, and still has the full length gas system?
I guess I'm just looking for opinions, suggestions, and general information on the rifle. (Yes, I know they're big and heavy!)
If you own one, feel free to post up a pic too :thumbs:
