Oh they make a scout too huh, looks nice, built in stand too-that's fancy.
Yeah a lot more expensive., but it has a 22 inch barrel. Tell me guys why go bolt action? Any advantages? |

Generally cheaper and more accurate versus an auto.

Start with a .22lr (even for long range shooting skills) and for 500 yard target, varmints, predators on up to deer look no farther than a decent .243 bolt gun. The Gunsite Scout looks cool if you're in to such things but does little if anything better than guns costing half as much. As for the Garand and M1A....... get one if you want, great history, but understand that a basic bolt gun is better for what you're talking about. Lighter, better handling and 9 times outta 10 more accurate all for less money.

The difference between M1A and M14 is that the M14 can go full auto, although only the Hulk can control it after the first shot.
First of all I would suggest a Savage 308 rifle. It is simply the best value for the money. Very accurate and if you get one with the Accutrigger they are superb. If you want a detachable 10 round magazine you should look at the Savage 10 FCP-SR

The civilian M14 is an excellent rifle and the M1A ain't bad either. Get one with a 22" barrel and learn how to shoot with iron sights. Quote:
The commercial M14s include LRB, SEI, Norinco & Poly Tech. These 'premium' rifles usually include forged receivers and they are built with USGI, SEI or higher quality reproduction parts. FWIW, the recoil of a full auto M14 or M1A can easily be tamed by adding SEI's USCG muzzle brake. VIDEO
