    M1A...any good for medium/ lomg range shooting?

    Re: M1A...any good for medium/ lomg range shooting? Oddly enough it was the Brit mil-surp that gave me the big scare. It took some German Mil-surp to prove that the rifle was capable of better. I will not however cross swords with you on the British ammo. I bought it off the net and truly...
