[QUOTE="Burnston, post: 3513856, member: 46617"] Good afternoon, As a first posting, I thought I’d share in my “battle rifle” experience. Often called “assault weapons, battle rifles, black guns,” etc. the AR platform has as many names as it has uses. Being a very traditionally minded fellow, I’ve done my best to acclimate myself to their usefulness. While I acknowledge their versatility, and after owning several, I simply cannot get used to the platform, or the limits of the .223, (I do not intend those as fighting words.) I understand there being many caliber options, but my sole objection is not on the caliber. that said, I’ve recently tried my luck with the m1a in .308. It’s length is limiting, though it’s heft does not bother me. It appeases my unconscious itch for wood and steel, and to me is the perfect blend of nostalgia and practicality with its .308 caliber. I’ve shot it extensively while on the job, and I believe I’ve settled on it, unless a Scout Squad model becomes available. Ammo is currently a problem, so my testing hasn’t reached its peak, but the first 1k rounds impression is a positive one. [/QUOTE]
