Wow I am really pumped about it now. I will be a buyer sooner than later.
Thanks to all. I knew I would get "just the facts". But I did notice just a little emotion.

What model you looking at getting?

I will get the 22". Is that called the standard?
love my m1a!! by far my favorite rifle. use caution though as buying things for it can quickly become an addiction/obsession
Emotion aside, here are the facts: An AR-10 is easier to maintain, generally more accurate out of the box, far easier and far cheaper to accurize, and will handle a much wider pressure range of loads. An AR-10 is also far easier to scope. All of that said, the M1A/M14 just feels better in the hands and shoulders better for me. Despite their similar weights, M1As/M14s feel better balanced to me than AR-10s. So, my brain likes AR-10s, but my heart likes M14s. You won't go wrong with either, so get the one that you think you'll like best.I would like to hear some feed back on maintenance / reliability / accuracy with factory and reloads. And of course how enjoyable to shoot. Any thing on scope mounts scopes and furniture would also be welcome. I have thought about an AR10 but think I would like an M1A more.
