Regret...YES or NO

[davedolli]

I agree with everyone else, keep the M1A. I have dumped almost all my collector firearms for ones that I can use and shoot without worrying about anything happening to them to decrease there value.

I love shooting a 20 gauge Red Label but I think you would regret selling your M1A for it. As someone else said, Red Labels are pretty easy to find!

Okay...I would like fellow INGO members input. I have a chance at a NIB engraved Ruger Red label over & under 20ga shotgun that is beautiful all the way around. However to afford it I would have to sell my SA pre-ban M1A. So I guess my question is. Do you all think I would eventually regret this move? Need honest opinions. What would you do?Thanks.

Well... I just came back from the range at Winamac and I shot the above mentioned SA M1A for the first time in awhile. I would like to say "Thank You" to all of those who talked me out of trading it for a Ruger Red label. After shooting it I firmly believe I would regret trading/selling it. It is one awesome rifle. Thanks again folks for the input.

if you want a shotgun for clay target shooting the red label is a bad chioce. they r light and designed for hunting(maybe a box a day) not traget shooting(100-300 a day). 100 rds of sporting clays loads or handi cap trap loads and you shoulder will hurt. you can find used browning citoi XS or XT for about $1000-$1300 much better guns for clay shooting. if you never shoot the m1a sell and buy a shotgun.

they dont make the red label any more. they r good guns but not great guns.

Never sell a working M1A ... I have had seven all gone as would not shoot 200 rounds in a row.

Thanks for the input. I do have a Remington 20ga 1187 premier that I currently shoot clay targets with. Works great and light recoil. Thanks again.

Keep the M1

I'm going to go the opposite direction. Where can I find this red label?

That would be on Gunbroker. Auction item #299036590

You'll miss your m1a

 

[steveIU]

Buy the red label. Classic and classy! I think I'll be the only response in that direction

I would choose to lose everything before i gave up my M1A.

Let's put it this way, if you have to ask, you're going to regret it.
