My m1a adventure goes like this, i decide im gonna make her shoot sub moa, scoped, etc etc. They hold the gun more firmly than the wood stocks IMO and I think make the gun more comfortable to shoot and practical for the field. You can buy a couple for relatively cheap and put on different paint jobs to match your evening attire. You get CQB and ability to put well aimed fire down range without optics at all.įor stocks, get a surplus USGI fiberglass. This past week a friend was slamming 12" steel plates at 300 yards with his iron sights and M1A and military surplus ammo. You may in fact not even want to use a scope and just use the iron sights. That seems like it would make it really unwieldy. I couldn't imagine putting another scope on top of the main optic. Scopes on that gun ride really high so keep that in mind.
10X is plenty for that type of rifle and the type of distances where it would be most effective. It has acceptable accuracy combined with good firepower and awesome reliability for a semi-auto. Again I love the M1As I've had, but it's never going to be bolt-gun accurate and I don't care what anyone claims otherwise about sub-MOA accuracy with one. By the time you got it well below 1 MOA you have sunk considerable costs into the gun and probably should have just bought something more made for the task.
I love my M1A, but let's be realistic that it is a main battle rifle and was designed with other considerations in mind outside of sub-MOA accuracy. Good luck, and I don't think you'll regret going with an m14/m1a.Įven my best match M1A is only 1 MOA. Even with all the national match tuning and modifications, most M1A's seem to only be capable of 1 MOA or better, which means you'll always get outshot by bolt guns or accuracy-oriented AR's there is a certain appeal of the M1A though in that it's tough, reliable, hard hitting, and has great iron sights. If I shoot enough, I'll get a sub-MOA 5 shot group every once in awhile. 308 ball, 2 MOA with match ammo, 1.5 MOA with tuned handloads. I have a stock M1A scout and it is good for about 4 MOA with standard.
The modern SAGE EBR/Troy/VLTOR stocks might also be something to look into, but I am yet to see documented evidence of sub MOA performance out of those. You could always go with a custom build based on a LRB reciever, but that is probably going to cost almost twice as much. A gun with all of this will run you around $2000-$2500 new, you will just need to find a model with a muzzle brake or california compensator instead of a flash hider to make it CA legal. Basically, you are going to want a bedded stock, unitized/shimmed gas cylinder, and national match trigger group to get that kind of performance. To get consistent one MOA performance I would look at the Springfield National Match or Super Match.
