So i love my savage 10pc .308. but ive always wanted a m1a. i have a mini 14 and think having the pair would be neat. What are your opinions? should i trade my bolt for the semi? thanks


Or should i just keep the .308 bolt and build me a 6.8 AR? please help me decide!!

Only reason I want an M14, M1A, is because it is freakin' one of the pimpest looking guns I've seen. Plus, its a "weapon of IRON....and WOOD"!

Perhaps you have answered your own question.

Is there any chance you will regret selling it sometime in the future? If so, keep it & eat PB&J for a month (or two) while saving for the M1A.

I also vote for you to keep the bolt gun and save for an M1A. Another option would be sell the mini14 and put that towards an M1A but that's just me.

If you hunt, I'd think an M1A would be less practical as they are heavy. I'd just save the funds unless you had another rifle that would take place of the one you are selling.

By PC, are you referring to the Model 10 Precision Carbine (20" bull bbl)? I have my eye on one.

Nope. Having hunted elk and deer in the mountains of Colorado with an M1A (iron sights and 5-round mag), I can tell you, it's not too heavy.

Must be the adrenaline...
