A competent shooter will whup ass over any techno-kid with a tricked-out "battle rifle" with all the bells and whistles, even if the shooter's lugging a Garand or a Springfield. It's not the rifle, but what you can do with it.

I never tire of seeing the gun store commandos on the range with their new and expensive rifles that will never even be shot in the prone position because it gets them too close to actual dirt. It's fun to outshoot them with my rather shopworn and "experienced" Garand that I've put thousands of rounds through and know very well. When/if they ask, I tell them how it cost me all of $165.00 back when you could still get good rifles way cheap from the CMP...when you actually had to be able to shoot to buy one.
