I'd probably go with a blond birch for the AR .

Why????

Because a pistol you can change back-and-forth from a pistol to a rifle but a rifle has to be registered as a SBR. If you wanna make a rifle into a pistol it would be a SBR. Stupid laws. Doesn’t really make sense. But that’s what it is. If you have a pistol you can turn it back-and-forth from a pistol to a rifle. But if it’s a rifle it’s rifle for life unless you SBR it and pay the permission tax

Why would I want to do that? Seriously I have perfectly good pistols that handle well. To me, a rifle design turned into a pistol has no real function that I need. I can carry a rifle in my arms or slung across my back with a pistol on my hip or in a shoulder holster, or both if I feel the need.

Springfield Loaded: M1A™ Loaded Rifles - Springfield Armory

110gr for varmints
130gr for antelope
147gr fmj for MBR role
150gr for deer
180gr for elk

If you are willing to compromise and go to the AR10/LR308 platform, you can switch barrels (or have multiple uppers) and really explore the limits of having 1 rifle for everything:

243 Winchester
25 Souper
260 Remington
7mm-08
308 Winchester
338 Federal
358 Winchester

All of the above should feed out of the same magazines if COAL is maintained as they all share the same parent case.

What are you using for barter material?

**Edit**

Never mind, I read thru 20 pages and see you have a Camp 9. Mini 14 or 30 is probably your best chance for making a trade.

" I competed with M1As and my Mini-14, just to prove the superiority of the design. (once me and my Mini went completely underwater in a creek minutes before the 500 stage)" per Ted Kennedy.

First off I have been actively shooting 3-gun matches since 1995, and this statement is absolute fallacy! The M1A is a good rifle, but it needs a lot of work to make accurate enough for the action shooting sports. In the infancy of 3-gun, it was more reliable than AR-10s, but around 2005 that all changed with the AR-10 becoming just as reliable with good magazines (sunset of 1994 omnibus crime bill). Presently the AR-10 is much more accurate and as reliable at a fraction of the cost in factory rifle to factory rifle. Bottom line equal! Neither is superior, with accuracy far superior in the AR-10.
Now on to the Mini-14..... First, I have never seen a mini-14 win a single major match, ever! I only knew of one person that shot one in most matches and that was Cheryl Fordice....which I don't think is Ted's real name. The Mini-14, up until really recently has always been a 3-5 M.O.A. gun which is never going to be enough accuracy to win a match. Next, I have seen many Mini-14s break over the years, the extractors break, the op rods break, the firing pin fails, the trigger group liked to break the trigger pin. Unless you had factory Ruger mags it was a jam-o-matic! and the sights are terrible. It is an absolutely abominable competition rifle and there is almost no
Accessory or up grade that can help it. Now I tried to like the Mini. I tried every trick to bed, tune and accurrize it! Nothing worked! I also used an M1A up until 2000! I even placed 5th in the old SOF world championship using one, but it had lots of work done to it. Bottom line!

They are not superior in any way! and this statement is an outright pipe dream especially when it comes to the Mini-14s in any competition!

I must agree. I purchased a mini ranch rifle. I wanted to like it as well. 3.5moa was all I could get out of it. Would not make an adequate coyote gun. Sold it. Never looked back.

The A-team never hit anybody with one either and they fired thousands of rounds per episode.

Ok so I watched the new movie and loved it, decided to binge the entire original series. Those dudes are worse shots than stormtroopers....
