You would rather have a Springfield over a Polytech? Why?
My Springfield M1A NM is almost 30 years old, has shot thousands and thousands of flawless rounds, still shoots about a MOA with it's Leatherwood ART II attached, and I can't think of how it could be improved.
On the other hand, I do not support the Chinese Arms Industry.... I do not send money to our declared economic enemy if I can help doing so.
Might just be me...
