The M1A is probably my most favorite rifle. I have a SuperMatch that I used for NRA High Power competitions and it'll shoot a lot better than I can! There's nothing like the feel of iron and wood! I would guess that an "off the shelf" Standard or Loaded model M1A will shoot MOA with the correct ammo. With Mil-Surp itmight shoot a little worse probably. Get one. You won't regret it!
