SA Scout Squad or Socom?

Otis · December 13th, 2005, 02:13 PM

I'm considering either a Socom 2 or the Scout Squad rifle, price isn't much of an issue, probably won't use it for anything over 100 yds (longest range in the area) Mostly a tacticle, SHTF, urban war, target rifle. Any suggestions?? Pros and cons? I could also use a recommondation for optics and a bi-pod.

How about an M14K?

ill stick to my FAL stg 58 which i am in the process of having the barrell shortened to about 17" ( just to where the standard stg flash supressor will abut the bipod cut on the barrell. i do like the m1a/m14 platform but like the ergonomics of the fal better and hit as well with it as i do any battle rifle .

Here is what I was looking for in particular. Try reading this and make a informed decision.

I'm up for the SOCOM 16 as my next rifle. But I already have a sniper tuned M1A SuperMatch (tuned by ROBAR with their finishes) and so they will use the same mags...which is a plus in my book. I know that it it going to be incredibly L-O-U-D! But that can be managed.

I plan to mount a Bushnell Holosight, as well.

I liked this version.

Would have attached, but for some reason my ability to "manage attachments" isn't working right now.

Best,
Jon

The weapon shown isn't a Springer. It's a BM59 Italian version of the M14 with a Reese Gunworks folding stock attached. I tried to see if Reese also makes a folding stock to fit my Garand and they don't have one.
