I was reviewing older threads under” accuracy” and came across the above posting which I have edited/quoted by mrgoodrifle…
So I just had to breathe a little life back into this one, over my good friend and old rifle team Pard’s comments above… That is mrgoodrifle’s stone cold but effective humor at work… I about feel out of my chair laughing when I read it…

I have no where near the experience most people in this thread command. However I have come to this same conclusion when shopping for a 7.62x51 platform.

When I chose the m14/m1a rifle system I quickly understood theres a certain love for the rifle that has to be present when putting money into them. 4000.00$(arbitrary number) put into an m14,according to my research is just not going to be as accurate as 4000.00$ into another system. I won't mention names but I'm sure anyone can think them.

especially accuracy at base cost is much better with other systems. (bolt guns, Armalite pattern guns).

All that being said the money I've spent so far, with more to come has been worth it for the enjoyment I receive.

I have owned, and do own more accurate rifles but my m1a is my favorite rifle.

Thanks for the info, this has encouraged me to improve my range logs.
