I’ve always loved a modern aesthetic, but I still appreciate classic design, especially when it comes to guns.

The M1A has always been one of those classic guns that have always had my attention.

Not enough to make it a priority purchase but enough that it would stay with me for a few weeks when I remembered it.

However, after the very first time I shot it, I knew I had been depriving myself of one of the most beautifully visceral shooting experiences one can experience with a rifle.

This experience is akin to driving a muscle car, where being unrefined is a good thing.

Between the looks, the smell, the sound, and how they drive muscle cars overload you with sensations, and the Springfield M1A does the same thing, and I love it.

Speaking of optional accessories, let's say I'd like to have the ammo sponsorship these guys have...

Grown man gushing is kinda awkward to listen to, but I mostly agree with his conclusions. I have a SOCOM 16 and a Scout Squad and they are accurate/reliable 308's.

*first thing I did was to remove the barrel heat sink pic rails on both of them.

**anabolic steroids can be dangerous when growing anchor arms.

Grown man gushing is kinda awkward to listen to,

It’s frankly quite sickening when he does it. Really weird on his part. It’s obvious it’s his “first time” experiencing the M1-A. He’s always late to the party with many firearms.

The subject of the OP is "The Muscle Car of Rifles - Automatic Transmission".

The 4-speed version would be a .308 Ruger Gunsite Scout in a composite stock.

The "Pony Car" of rifles might just be a CZ 527 Carbine chambered in 7.62 X 39...






I jest witcho0 fellers. Don't take me seriously... "Oh, that's ok. We never do!"

[200Apples]

But wait! There's more...


The Fuel Altered (my age is showing) of rifles is a 7.5-pound .45-70 Marlin lever action with an 18.5" barrel...

Don't act like we all don't act like kids and just overrun with joy whenever we get a gun we want best feeling ever

I disagree the M14 is punishing gun to shoot ! Its has much less recoil than a 3006 bolt gun and the word punishing is best reserved for 375 and larger calibers .
The worst recoil I've experienced, the 460 Weatherby, brutal and made even worse with a short eye relief scope .
Fired that a Turners manufactures rep show in Corona .
regardless thanx for posting I always enjoy these exhibitions .

I think the Tanker model better fits as being a classic…nothing more classic than a wood rifle.

I’ll stick with my Std length M1A, thanks. It shoots like a dream.

You like extra 400fps ,me too !

Shot the M14 in basic. Not a punishing rifle to shoot, but it was harder to run with than the M16. LOL
