So this isn't really about precision rifles, but...
I've been considering picking up a M1A Scout. My thinking, beyond I've just always liked them, is that I would like to have a good reliable rifle that is likely to pass muster in case of another 'assault rifle' ban (we all know it's coming... eventually). I would likely swap the brake out for a regular flash hider and remove the scout rail, and it would mostly serve as a hunting rifle and iron sight trainer. For those that have them, how do you like the rifle and what kind of accuracy do you get out of it? I'm not looking for half MOA accuracy but I'd like it to hold its own. Thanks.
If I don't go this route I'll probably build a nice flintlock Pennsylvania longrifle...
