Looking at purchasing one and deciding between a few different models. I'll state I'm just looking for a good 300-400yd rifle that I can stick a scope on, don't need a .5 MOA precision rifle. Not really interested in an AR10.
1. Do I just get a standard M1A for roughly $1500 and upgrade as I go if I feel like it?
2. M1A Loaded Precision for $1850 with the fancy stock/barrel/trigger
3. Splurge on a Bula Defense DMR rifle with integrated rail, runs about $2600
Would also need to keep in mind for the M1A I'd have to get the scope mount which is another $150 and I've heard mixed things about the Springfield mount that bolts on the side.
