I've fired the scout, scout squad and a match rifle full length. That said, the squad is a much better length than the socom. 16 inch version have a FAT front sight that does not lend itself for any kind of long distance shooting. The Scout has a standard front sight. The Match guns are superbly accurate.
Any M1A will shoot circles around a Mini 14 or Mini 30 from Ruger. Magazines are hard to get. Checkmate or USGI surplus are the ones to look for over the cheap Korean or Expensive Factory Mags.
