Default Springfield M1A Standard

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with the Springfield M1A Standard with the fiberglass stock. I really want to know what kind of accuracy they are capable of.

Thanks

Not the standard but ive shot the socom and the loaded. They are very accurate rifles and i would think any of them are capable of 2" or so at 100. Both i shot were in the 1 1/2 to 2" range.

Thanks 700bdl. Thats the same accuracy the guys on the ar15 boards are talking as well.

I think it'd make a fun deer drive gun.

It'd be a HEAVY deer drive rifle, for sure.

Just my opinion, and we all know what opinions are like, but I'm not sure I'd want to drive deer with a rifle. And I know that I wouldn't want to be driving deer with anyone that has a rifle.

Our deer drives here are alot different than your probably used to in New Jersey. We can see up to 7 miles in most areas, it is wide open and flat, with no trees. Once the deer start getting pushed around we send guys on a few mile hikes, and you walk cattail sloughs, patches of CRP, foodplots, etc. Your hardly ever within a mile of the next nearest guy on the drive.

Yeah, I just saw you were from South Dakota and realized that you guys probably have some pretty far shots. You're right, buckshot or slugs won't cut it out there!

You could use Slugs or Buckshot opening morning, and after that you might have alot of un-used shells by the end of season. I'd say my average shot on my bucks over the last 10 years has been 250 yards.
