Hello everyone,
My question is I am thinking of buying a rifle platform that is suitable to many needs.
-can shoot 500 yards with a scope
-rugged and reliable
-lot of punch
-versatile beyond all means
My thoughts were one of a M1A SOCOM II platform with an extended rail.
The rail would allow many usages such as straps, forward grip, scope, sights, laser, flashlight, anything that can be railed really. In addition to this the .308 Win has a lot of punch and the 16" barrel may not be the best choice for a bit of distance shooting but I would like to think it gets the job done. I know that this rifle is not really the best in one particular category but I like to think of it as a jack of all trades so to speak.
Thoughts? Opinions? Am I overlooking anything?
