Sorry guys didn’t mean to leave you high and dry on the pics…

At a little later date I can post individuals if you guys like.

EDIT:

The top one is (as they all are) a Springfield, the bi-pod is after market, and the scope mount is after market. Next one down is a Springfield with a Genuine Springfield Bi-pod and scope mount. The next is a Springfield scout, the most interesting thing about the scout (to me) is the scope, it is a genuine Springfield scope, in addition the scope mount is genuine. The bottom one while still a Springfield, has no bells or whistles, but I have some assurances it holds less than 1MOA (as I understand it less than .5MOA) and is an excellent rifle out to 1k. However I have not ever personally shot that far, though I will likely begin shooting at longer ranges and try to work my way up to that…I have as yet not attempted it.

NICE RIFLES!!! Is the bottom one norinco? i cant tell when i clicked on it

They are all Springfield M1A’s the bottom one has been glass bedded and had weight added to the stock … it is a 1000yd rifle if I take the word of the former owner who is a magnificent shooter.

We go to Fort Gordon twice a year for sort of an invitational .50 shoot. The closest target area is 800 meters, the furtherest - - is a mile and a half! We shoot on range 16 which is basically an arty range. It' a kick to drop fitty rounds out that far, you can launch an I.T. round and sit up and watch it fly out to the target! It takes a few seconds to get out a mile and a half, it's kinda neat!
I usually take an M1A and a couple of FAL's to plink at the 800 meter targets, it's a great place to get to shoot!

I too am an avid M1A/M14 shooter. I actually own a NM M1A and an M21 Tactical which I shoot whenever I have a chance. I haven't heard of any range around this area that has a 1K distance. The longest is a private range for silhoutte in New Braunsfell and I think it goes to 600 yards only. Keep on shooting and maybe just buy yourself a land and invite us all to come shoot at your place.

I am a bit disappointed to see no ongoing conversations regarding the M1A rifle. At any rate I just wanted some one to know that I love this rifle, and I am looking for a place to shoot one out to 1k, so if any one knows a place here in\around Houston TX please let me know.

My family owns a lot of land up north of Dallas. If you wanted to go up there it wouldn't be a problem. You'd probably find a better place on the side of the road on your way there though.
