Really? I find the M1 recoil....errrr....stifled a bit by the shear size and weight. The M1A I had with the synthetic stock had a bit of kick to it, certainly even more than my current rifle (DSA 18" FAL).MoJo wrote:The M14/M1A is the rifle John Garand should have designed. Lower recoil than the M1, Higher round capacity and even a "bad" one will hold "minute of bad guy" at 400 yards. Try Bud's Gun Shop online.

Re: Springfield M1A-1
Had one, shot great, but some substandard parts (produced elesewhere) gave me fits so I got rid of it. The only other bummer I remember is that mags were a bit pricy at the time.
That being said, it is easy to scope using a piece that cantilevers off the side of the receiver. Several folks make them. The one I used from Basset Machine ( http://www.bassettmachine.com/ )was great. Local Texas guy who's super proud of his work. IF I ever got another M1A, I'd definitely get one of these mounts again.
