Thanks for all the input forumites. I have fired rifles many times and I'm at the range almost every week with my handguns so it's not like I need a starter rifle. I'm single and I work quite a bit so the price difference between the 308 and say the 7.62X39 ammo is no problem. I will most likely get a 10/22 just for fun but I do want a full power combat rifle, and the SKS's that I have fired were not all that accurate beyond 150 yards.
As for the standard M1A vs. the SOCOM, I think I want something more compact so it will be either the SOCOM or the Scout I think.
BTW, isn't $1200 for a SOCOM below wholesale?
