Another vote for the M1A. I had a Scout and didn't like the short barrel, so I gave it to my son. The full size is great and since I don't load 308 max for my bolt guns, I don't have separate loads. Recoil is easy from a 10# rifle. If you scope it, you'll need an aftermarket cheek piece. A National Match version will give you an upgraded trigger, match barrel, and will be a fantastic shooter; or, you can look at the plethora of aftermarket goodies.
