I am thining the herd and have decided that instead of taking a different rifle into the back coutnry I am goin to narrow it down to 0ne go to rifle. I have been looking at springfield m1a. I am leaning to the scout squad model, but while checking things out local I found a AR10 with a 16 inch barrel and priced about the same.
Here is my requirements.
reliablity
30 cal in semi auto
reasonable accurate out to 300 yds
proven rifle
Here is the considerations in the order of which one I am considering.
Springfield M1A scout squad rifle
Springfield Socom 16
Springfield M1A base model.
AR10
