Quoted: I Can,t decide if I should buy a Springfield M1A Scout/Squad or Armalite AR-10A4; It will be used for informal target shooting & wildboar hunting (Once in a while).I will be mounting a 4X acog (With BAC) on the receiver, As I have come to love this scope. Also is the barrel on the Springfield M1A Scout/Squad Chrome lined? Any opinions will be greatly appreciated.

You make things a little tougher by specifying the M1A1 Scout/Squad. This rifle, to me at least, is pretty new.
The first thing I would decide on the Scout/Squad is whether or not the scope position on this rifle is acceptable to you - more forward than anything I've ever used.
I have an M1A1 in .243 (yep .243) and a couple of AR-10 (T)'s.
I had a 10A4 but sold it. I'm embarrased to admit this but there was simply something about the way the 10A4 looked that I didn't like. Nothing else.
I love both my M1A1 and the AR-10(T) but if I could only have one I would have the AR-10(T).
You "might" consider going used and getting an AR-10(T) for about the same money as an NIB 10A4.
This advice is worth exactly the $.00 you're paying.
