Hello all,
Every time I see an M1A in a Sage Mod 0, I really start thinking about how I "need" one. The sticking point for me is that if the rifle is going to weigh 15-20 pounds, it's only real purpose for me at that point would be as a precision rifle. And I would want it to be a sub MOA rifle to fill that roll.
I am curious to know, when properly built/set up/etc, is how accurate can these rifles be? I have read "sub MOA" a lot on the internet, but I have come to find that other peoples definition of "sub MOA" is a lot different than mine, in that I don't consider a rifle that occasionally throws 4 out of the 5 shots fired into a tight group with number 5 being a "called flier." My definition is a lot more strict.
Being that I don't recall seeing a M1A entry in any of the 6x5 shoot out threads, ever, I'm curious to hear (and would prefer evidence along the line of a 6x5 target,) how they really shoot. If it takes being custom built by a specific smith using a specific barrel, than that is good data to have as well.
Basically, I've shot enough rounds through various .308 AR's to know that it is real tough to shoot them real well, real consistently. And I've read about how much more inherently accurate .308 AR's are than M1A's.
Thanks in advance!
