I have had buying an M1A on the back burner for a while, and am thinking now might be the time. I was looking at the various models last night, and the M1A Scout Squad in Black or Walnut seems to be the best choice from a pragmatism point of view. That said, I love the look of the M1A National Match with walnut stock and stainless barrel. From an aesthetics perspective, it is a beautiful and capable rifle.
The application is that I am looking for an MBR that serves as a long range capable alternative to my go-to WW 15, and I have been wanting an M1A for a while. At the risk of blaspheming, would an ACOG be appropriate for this application, or a bigger scope, or iron sights? I have alway been an iron sights guy, but I have to admit, my eyes are getting old, and target acquisition and accuracy with my AimPoint PRO on the WW is pretty good.
Disclaimer: I know there are tons of threads on .308's, and probably a bunch of people going to say M1A'a are banned, but let's ignore that for now. Please.
