I’ve shot a SCAR-H and it is very nice. Accurate, light, ambidextrous. The stock fully folds which is sweet for getting in and out of vehicles or aircraft.

The M14 was developed from a long line of experimental weapons based upon the M1 Garand

Springfield M1A standard rifle equipped with an UltiMAK prototype M8 optic mount and the excellent Leupold 2.5x Intermediate Eye Relief (I.E.R.) "Scout" scope.

I dont have the scope because I really do not need it. I have been a Springfield Armory fan for almost 17 years.

I like the Mosin Nagant too. Those have been in the Russian arsenal sionce 1891. The first official design was in 1889. It has a 7.62mm cartridge.

I'll never understand why they stick with a damned .22 cal.
“mouse gun” and think it will reach out a half a mile!
Ain't gunna happen,,,
Even a 22-250 or a 220 Swift is worthless at that range,,,
They sure as hell won't shoot through the bushes either...

The 7.62 mm bullet is a powerful bullet. I had a SKS and I used to shoot watermelons and once the bullet hit the watermelon it burst.
To: JoeProBono
That one will get the job done...

The first three shot are on target, the rest end up in the ceiling.
Three round burst are best, or better training and semi auto.

IMHO this is a matter of training,,,
When fired from the assault position the stock is held
under the strong side and the weak hand is “stiff armed”
using the sling,,,
Hand on top of the weapon pushing it down,,,
This will even give you control of an M-14 or anything else,,,
Sadly most guys only learn this in combat...
