That is baaaaad-ass! I wanna get an loaded M1A, pretty much no chance Santa will bring me one, so I am going to have to save my pennies first. Very nice and Merry Christmas! :thumbsup:

[Seryoga]

VERY VERY VERY NICE!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

My friend has one, and he said its awesome. Accurate and comes in a small package, which means less weight too

OK, what ya get?

What do you hunt with that - "Obama-nation?"

It is a .308 round so most deer size animals could be hunted. With the 16" barrel I would imagine that with a good round should be accurate to 600+ yards. It will mostly be a paper puncher though.

I think they may be legal in Cali, with a one round magazine configuration. :rotflmao2:

Now I know the 308 is a great round, and it used to be the caliber of choice for a sniper rifle till the 300 mag came out, and I know some guys got REAL good with them during the war, BUT.......with a 16" barrel at 600+ yards...???:thinking:.........I'm sure it can be done, but I'd sure like to see it done with any consistency. I'm sure on a good day with no wind and sighted in properly it's possible. Then again, I guess you could hit something way out there with a 22 if it's sighted in properly.....right?:dontknow2:
I sure hope you have fun trying tho......you lucky dog!!!:thumbsup:

[Robar]

600+ yards may be a stretch, but I'll give it a try anyhow. :LOL:

you better.....and we'll be looking forward to hearing about the results:thumbsup:

I love my Socom II and I need it to shoot to 250-300yds after that is just gravey. This is an awsome weapon to shoot a real head turner the power of the 7.62/.308 increadible. The concussive force off this round is amazing my wife will shoot the 12ga. but not this one. The kick is moderate though, definately manageable.

awseome gun, you swat guys get all the good stuff

[RedrockX]

I got a sweet .308 for Christmas.. its a Howa 1500 with the bull barrel, and i think its the 24"... but its LONG and HEAVY.

looking for a good scope for it.
any suggestions? for a "reasonable scope" no 2K+$ stuff.

so, when to the socal guys get together to do some shooting?
me and the wife have our 9mms. (Berretta 92fs for me and her Ruger?)

You're gonna love that M1A, with open sites it's good to about 350 yards easy. Put some nice optics on it and I'm sure you could reach out further. Here's mine:
