SA M1A Loaded

[Mikey von]

My lgs has SA M1A Loaded with a stainless steel national match barrel for $1300 plus 2 extra mags and a scope mount. I am thinking of getting it, but would probably just keep the peep sight.

I am looking for opinions on this rifle for target shooting, perhaps competitions.

Buy it.

Good deal,cant go wrong with the M1A!If your eyes are good and can see the front sight clearly,iron sights will serve you well.

Thats a great deal for a loaded, never seen one that low

Woody Stainless Loaded...?

Buy it.

(Or, get a CMP Service Grade M1 Garand and a thousand rounds of M2 ball.)

That's a very good price. If you don't care about the loaded/stainless aspect, you can keep an eye on the classifieds. Standard M1As in synthetics pop up often enough for $1,100. Hate to pay the tax on something like that...

Loaded is worth the price

I just bought one from Sportsman’s warehouse for $1,234.99 with my military discount. Was $1,299 before. Pretty impressed with the gun.

I'm surprised the M1A haters haven't shown up yet....

"It's too heavy, you can't scope it, it costs too much to make it accurate, the extractor will fly off within 9 rounds, my AR is more reliable," yada, yada...

M1a are hawt

Great rifle, if you run it you will not regret it.

Great rifle, i have had the same stainless Loaded for 20 years now. Did the Lyttle Creek matches with it for CMP requirements. Even back then, mine was $1800 OTD. Get it.

I would rather have a standard M1A with the original style barrel

stainless doesnt look correct on the M1A

Well, if you don't buy, I'm going to figure out what LGS it is and buy it myself. LOL. B.
