Jud96,
Yep'..., the M14 design is timeless as is the cartridge, I've used both the M14 and the M21 over my many years I like the rifle so much that I set one up for my general all-around rifle (NM Loaded M1A) pretty darn hard to beat'..., drop in a few Sadlak parts; gas piston, op rod, and replace Springfield's extractor with the original GI grade and it's quite the pipe hitter. I get amazing accuracy with my 168gr MK loads that equal most of my bolt rifles in .308/7.62x51mm which translates to 1 moa and under for five-shot groups.
