Finally got to shoot my M1A. Went deer hunting in South Carolina after Christmas and took a nice 8 point buck with it using Winchester Ballistic Tip 168gr bullets. Doped the scope for 1" high at 100 yds and held center mass on a 12" steel plate at 200 yards and that's exactly where the bullet impact was.
Great way to break the ole girl in. Surprised at the light recoil. Even on the bench while dopeing the scope it was mild. Tried out the Checkmate Mags also. Don't care for the 5 rounder as it's hard to eject from the rifle as you have nothing to grab on to but the 20's functioned perfectly. I just love this weapon.
