I bought an M1A National Match of a marine stationed out in Twentynine Palms and it came in yesterday. Got a great deal on it and it also came with 6 mags, a fiberglass stock, and a gen 3 scope mount. Can't wait to take her out and stretch her legs, but I'm pretty sure this is the rifle that is going to push me into reloading. 308 ain't cheap,lol.

That is one good looking rifle, congrats Yeah I feel your pain on 308 it will put a hurtin on your wallet. I got one of the new AK's (M77) in 308, big difference when you're use to buying surplus 54r.

Sweet!

That is a gorgeous one! Congrats & let us know how she shoots.

Sure will. It'd be nice if the weather turned. It's almost the middle of March and it's still feels like winter here in Maine.

Very nice, I want one so bad.... Seen a couple new Springfields sitting on the rack at Cabalas on the last visit priced around $1,500.oo
People were snatching up all the different types of plastic automatics around them but the 2 in wood were all that caught my eye.

Yeah, they're not cheap rifles so it's definitely an investment, but one worth making IMO. You can find M1A standards going for mid 1200s if you look around.You may have to get one with a synthetic stock, but I think that's OK since you can then buy a nice walnut/birch USGI stock to put on it later.

NIce! That would get me to reload .308 also; I'm converting my .308 Rem. 740 to .30-06 because I already have the brass and dies.
