Screw that wimpy .308. Get a real rifle from ODCMP, an M1 GARAND, in .30-'06.
A real battle rifle. |

For the money?
Has to be the DSA STG58A "Authentic Austrian FAL" — Superb build quality, finish and pedigree for around $800 - with lifetime warranty, no less! Also, you get all the FAL advantages — cheap, readily-available magazines, and plenty of replacement and upgrade parts. It's a no-brainer!

The no-brainer is the more powerful .30-'06 in the $550 ODCMP Garand.
Magazines? Hah! Clips are $.50 each. Lets see: 1x20 rd M1A mag = $50= 20 rds 3x8 rd M1 clips = $1.50= 24 rds M1A= $1200.00 (approx) M1= $550.00 Need we say more? |

I'd have to agree with the people who said FAL, even though I'm an M1A owner. If I had to do it again today, I'd have a FAL instead of the M1A simply because of mag costs.

hmmm, was about to send a big reply.. but that term "post-ban"... I dont have any semi's that "new" [:D]
The M1A is a classic that is still selling good! I'm thinking my next "big'n" will be an FAL, I hear a lot of good things about it, now I have to spend some time finding out what model is best and what to look for... |

I guess that it depends on your budget. For pure accuracy, the Springfield Armory M1A is hard to beat! If you're looking for the best ergonomics and reliability in a battle rifle, then the DS Arms FN-FALs are the way to go. If you want to get slightly more radical than the M1A for a sniper grade rifle, then I'd say try and Armalite AR-10 model.

AR10. Versatility and accuracy defined.

Has to be the FAL. It will handle ammo that will bend an M14 op rod into a pretzel, group well, and is almost as ergonimic as the AR. M14 clones are great for Service Rifle on a breezy day, but the FAL is a battle rifle.

In my OPINION:
1) STG58A from DS Arms rifle or carbine $800 - $850. 2) AR-10(T) rifle or carbine about $1500 used and fine !! 3) To me a pre-ban fits here. FN 50.00 L.A.R. Match - about $2,000 - $2300. 4) SR-25 Stoner - about $3000 - $3500 (My most "honorable" mention would be the M1A1.) My pick for the money ? The ArmaLite AR-10(T). |

I've got the set - M1, M1A, and the FAL. Depends on what you mean in "best".
Most fun: M1 Garand - it's a classic, love the clips flying out after 8 rounds. Most accurate: M1A N.M. by about twice the accuracy. Best battle rifle - FAL despite its awkward controls (too tiny for me). Cheapest: M1 Garand by a long shot. If I had to take one into battle it would be the pistol gripped FAL as it just feels better in my hands. It is the lightest too but these are heavy rifles to begin with. |

Quoted: Quoted: ChiCom M14S dont those explode sometimes? I have never seen it at Perry or the Old Fort range or been able to document a KB. I have five and trying to get more. I think you are spreading more internet urban legends. cpermd |
