Jesus that is not a match.. National Matches don't have you shoot at steel the size of trucks...

[mag30th]

@mrmidnight32 That was pretty funny. It was a short profile I was doing on the rifle, not my shooting skills. I assure you if I were to complete a video on my own shooting ability with open sights it would have been a different type of video.

[mrmidnight32]

@mag30th Oh I thought you meant this was a m14 at a national match.. I was like I have never seen a match shooting at rough cut steel plates 5' x 5' lol

I didn't know you were referring to the M1a NM rifle. My bad

[mag30th]

@mrmidnight32 All good, no prob.

Trying doing that w/ M16...NOT!!!

[mag30th]

I did, but it is at 650 yards, not 420. It is posted under my handle.

I don't understand why ppl are bashing on the M14 and M16 rifles. Their both great American guns. You all should be bashing on the AK owners =).

@STORM6490MT

I have a super match. It's a bit more then the regular NM It's a 22" SS barrel. It also has the unified gas system hooded half MOA windage and elevation adjustments. I believe that is the only difference.

Outstanding!! Gen. Chesty Puller would be damn proud!!!

[alex124485]

@wddenis3 easily done. point target for M4 is 500 m. FOR SDM course we engage out to 500m with ACOG. marines qualification range goes out to 500m as well. however the M14 is a sweet rifle

I can't believe the testosterone that makes people defend their particular brand of rifle like it's a religious icon. I hear the same kind of thing when people get rabid about what a good combat handgun a 9MM is, heck, a politician got drilled through her head with one and is still with us! There is just so much BS out there masquerading as ballistic wisdom. Maybe we should go to a .17 for combat? A needle at 5500 FPS? I'll take the .308 thanks.

@semiautoriflelover The M110 is also a $27,000 gun. It had better be really, really accurate. Hell, the regular SR-25 is overpriced for what it is.

[Nater245689]

@wddenis3 You could definitely do that with a good AR-type rifle. They're very accurate, at least as accurate as any M14-type rifle.

[bdambrose]

Sorry guys, that's a "loaded" version of the M1A.  Nation Match rifles start with NA, not MA. Great rifle though.

[ajohnson]

@semiautoriflelover Ya I know that the AR10 is both lighter and more accurate then the M1A, and I own one for those reasons. Mine shoots .5 moa with cheap Wolf .308 win. ammo. However, others could argue that the M1A's piston operated action is better then the direct impingement system because it doesn't crap where it eats. I think both guns are awesome but I like the AR10 better.
