That or build your own, plenty of choices out there at the moment. All depends on how much you want to spend.

When I think of an accurate .308, M1A doesn't come to mind. Generally speaking.

So you use a BB and a 10 round mag?
Where to buy one or a cousin of this in the San Diego area ?

I don't know how easy they are to find, but I have a 1943 rebuilt Garand in .308 that fits the bill. Adjustable peep rear, globe front sight. Bought it from SJGE, someone dumped a fair amount of money into it before me.

It comes with a 4 round mag. All you need is a BB or MMG or Solar Tactical grip cover. I'm not sure how DD's ships his. W/O pistol grip or BB installed. Give him a call(716)937-7779. Uses DPMS style mags. Found @ www.44mag.com. I think for what you get it is a pretty good deal.

+10000 I spent $1440 on mine, and my first time out, with iron sights, and cheap wal mart fmj .308, I shot a 100 yard five shot group that (minus one flyer that opened it up to 2moa) was a 1moa group. Not bad at all in my book.

Oh, and btw the 4 round mag it comes with you can take out the base plate, pull the two limiters out, and it becomes a dpms ten rounder

Those pics are of people with M1 Carbines

But yes there is a M1A linky at the bottom of the page

Ive seens some damn accurate M1As before but they ended up costing quite a bit of $$$. Still accurate though.

[swerv512]

MOA or better out of an autoloader bascially means AR platform for the cheapest route. yes, you can get your M1A/FAL/HK91 to shoot MOA, but it'll cost you some serious $$$
Most .308 autoloaders were made as "battle rifles"- meaning Minute of Torso accuracy...

A DPMS LAR308 upper can be had for $600 and they will shoot 1/2" all day long. I own several and even the 16" AP4 shoots sub moa. You will need a CMMG, POF, FULTON or IRON RIDGE lower ($250-$400), $50-$75 lower parts kit and a stock of choice. A 308/7.62 build is possible for about $1k unless you go with a high dollar stock. For an inexpensive choice, go with a DPMS Pradus complete.308 stock with correct spring & buffer kit (available at Brownells for just over $50).
The Remington R25 is made by DPMS and the upper and lower are the same as DPMS. Remingtons parent company owns DPMS, Remington and Bushmaster. I don't care for the Remington R25, because that finish looks like crap when worn or chipped. Plus the finish is damaged easily with some solvents and oils.

[Rekrab]

BKTJ, do you use the Pradus stock? I was looking at that as a budget stock for my first build.

what no FAL, Saiga, or PTR 91 Love??????????
