[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 857450, member: 3615"] Handle an M1A before you plunk your hard earned money down and remember these points. They are heavy, with scope/mount and all mine was like 13 lbs, a little much for a carry around all day rifle. You will pay dearly for a quality scope mount. If you do mount a scope it will be waaayy up there, likely you will need an adjustable cheekpiece for comfort. The rifle will probably be a 2-2.5 MOA gun, making it better will get real expensive. The one I had was neat, don't get me wrong, but it just sat, and for me was not useful. Now I own a bolt 308 and several 223 AR's, I am much happier for it. As far as hunting, if you are limiting yourself to deerish animals, you could probably get away with the other cartridges available in the AR-15 platform. If you want an AR-10 though, don't make excuses about need, if you like it then buy it. [/QUOTE]
