I would love to get a wicked optic setup on it and have some fun. If it's good enough for our troops it will be more than enough for me.
#M1A SOCOM ACCURACY TEST FULL SIZE#
So I don't see how the SOCOM could handle and worse than the full size M14. I see countless pics of soldiers carrying and using M14's in actual combat. Now I just have to decide between the scout or SOCOM model.

I think it will be the next rifle I purchase. From your description it sounds like I need to add it to my collection. It's nice to hear from someone who actually owns the SOCOM. Now I'm no LEO nor do I intend to shoot the rifle inside a room without hearing protection, which is what it was probably intended for, all I can say is that it is great fun to shoot, it looks just as well made as my old M1A, more accurate than me, and a very good looking unit. I also love the contraption for mounting the aimpoint, ugly but perfectly positioned. The ballistics are not the same, but the short barrel and brake combo make for a fun, easy to handle, low recoil blaster.

I love mine and like shooting it better than my DSL FAL, my full size M1A, and WAY better that my Cetme. I own the SOCOM, and other that pitching the nasty fiberstock and replacing it with a nice wood stock, the gun is a joy to own, shoot, and carry around. Marginal point but it irks me nevertheless, and when I part with $900+ on hardware I don't like to be irked at all. So think of the needs of your first rifle based on the ammo (and don't overlook shooting cost if you're into recreation/practice) and go from there.ĮDIT: add to Duffy's post that SA is very slow to accomidate the AWB expitation and in addition to not offering a flash suppressor, they don't offer a bayonet lug either. If you are a modern battle rifle enthusiast you should have a platform for. The AR is easier to customize and add more shit to, including change of calibur and then there is the cost of ammunition to figure. If you can afford both eventually I suggest you do that. Neither rifle is mil-spec, but you can get a closer version with the AR platform than the M1 Platform. The current competition for the M1A is the US made FAL, or an AR-10 (and some could argue an apples to oranges comparison there, but a comparison btw an M1A & an AR-10 is a far better matchup than an M1A & an AR-15) Then you can compare rifles that accept the round. You must consider your uses, then figure out what round suits your needs best.
