Platform of choice for distance in .308

[jmg8550]

I've been wanting to get into a nice .308 long distance bolt rifle for some time, but two things stand in my way.

First, is the money. Yup, I'm poor and the wife doesn't want me buying any more guns (I'm getting sneaky though and starting to buy stripped lowers that I can slowly build up).

Secondly, as a lefty shooter it's damned difficult to find a left-handed bolt; particularly in .308. When I do find something, I don't have the funds to acquire it.

I love the rifles you guys have posted pics to.

GCrookston - all I can say it WOW. You made me drool! I'm envious.

Here you go for a lefty bolt gun. And it doesn't cost anymore than the righty. It has an accutrigger and accustock. I have not done anything to it except put Burris XTR bases, rings, and scope on it. Very accurate out of the box. I actually like the looks of the rifle. It stands out among all the 700's. It is easily capable of .5 moa groups.



And more M1A porn. Supermatch Springfield M1A built by Glen Nelson in 1995. Versa-pod bipod with Versa-pod sling swivel adaptor, Smith Enterprise scope mount, all GI parts except reciever, barrel (Douglas heavy match), and the heavy wood stock (bedded). In my opinion, worth every penny spent on this Last of the Steel Warriors.



The M1A is now my service rifle. And it shoots sub MOA groups. So yes... M1A's can be very accurate out of the box.
