Ok my NRA card carrying friends I need some expert advice for my next firearm purchase.
I sold my gun collection before leaving for the sand-box, and since returning home have been mulling over what I should purchase.
Right now I am looking for a high-power rifle that can support all the tactical rail-mounted toys that I have accumulated in the service of this mans army. It needs to be something that I can shoot on weekends at the range (and not go broke on ammo), and also be able to put down a buck, moose, wild pig, bear etc...
I am currently looking at the Springfield Armory M1A SOCOMII. Which chambered in 7.62X51.
Springfield Armory
Any thoughts? I am looking at buying online either a new or like-new for between $1600-1700.
