OK, right now I need opinions on two different rifles I'm considering. Recently I just abandoned my AR build because of a little hiccup.
I got around to thinking about it, and really thought if it's going to cost almost a grand to get into a GOOD AR, why wouldn't I just up the ante and go with a Springfield M1A (standard version, no SOCOM's)?
The economist in my head tells me that 5.56 will do what I want it to, cheaply... while the money-wasting azzhole that lives up there too tells me to go all out on a M1A.
Which makes the better "SHTF" rifle for you guys? Both are pretty darn common calibers, and it seems like a good AR will cost about as much as a vanilla M1A.
Any opinions? I feel like being patient with this and save up.
