Do you agree with his picks?

 

[Kedric]

The M14 is my number 1 pick, closely followed by the FAL. Though I would pick the 18" barrel instead of the 16".

Just added a Socom 16 to the safe. Anxious to take it out for a spin.

So, you did have a plan after all............

I have both an M1A and an Armalite AR-10, and yes he is right, the Armalite is going....well back to Armalite. It ran for about 250 rounds, now it doesn't run. Armalite will of course repair it free of charge. But it is a hassle to have to send a firearm back to the factory.
I have never had a problem out of my M1A....ever!

Yeah I do, but honestly its not going toward another rifle. Other things need attention first.

I do want an FAL but it will have to wait until next year.

 

[Robert Richardson]

Wow, I'm in shock. For the first time I agree 100%.

I am done for a bit as well. As you said, this thing is expensive to feed.

He hints that the M-14 was retired with the dusted off comment. It was and is still used by the US Navy.

I don't see anything wrong with his choices though. I would love to add a FAL or SOCOM II.

 

[tradertator]

I would say he is spot on. Toss up if I like the FAL or M1A more. The Saiga 308 is way under rated.

Despise the entry AR-10s. Like the CETME's even less. No experience with some of the newer stuff like the SCAR, FNAR, etc, ..... but I'm sure they are great.

 

[HavokCycle]

if i had the coin, id pick a SCAR-H over any rifle. following that, an M14, then an FAL. toss the keltec thing in there somewhere.. uhh.. RFB? never fired one but would like to.

 

[Beowulf]

What, no Tokarev or Hakim? :-)

 

[Black Cloud]

Spent time with all the above today and some friends. Loved the M1A Socom with a passion, the FAL's were all that they are cracked up to be, the bullpup Kel-Tec thingy was shockingly sweet, and the SCAR-H was impressive, but louder than a sumunagum.

Of all of them, the Socom was probably my favorite, though the the Kel-Tec made me want one badly for some uknown reason (ergonomics?). I'd prolly own a SCAR-H, as long as it didn't have that muzzle brake that punished the bystanders. That thing had everyone groaning.

I'd like to try out a socom, but I guess my ar10 will have to do for now. Those kel-tec's look like pretty handy rifles
