Finally got to where we could put a few rounds through the M1A, just to see if it would shoot. Loaded up with some 165 grain Hornady SSTs...Sent a couple of rounds down range to see where it's shooting, then made a couple of fairly minor windage and elevation adjustments. Then we ran the target out to 200 yards and went to work....overall, not bad...the rifle is a shooter and will get better

Is that the Springfield or did you build your own?

Nice!
How do you like that stock so far? Solid? Flimsy?

It's very sturdy and solid...it also seems to be heavy as a dead horse...I have to weigh this thing...

Looks like it shoots pretty good. I like the look even though it isn't traditional, the color contrast is nice.
