[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1179799, member: 41338"] Not super practical. A battle rifle can be hunted with, with great success and the 308 is a fine caliber but they tend not to be be fabulously accurate/consistent for "long-range" needs. They can be made to be more accurate but keeping them shooting that way usually does require some effort. As a duel purpose rig (battle/hunting), it'll do fine as the vast majority of hunting shot presentations are not long-range. With a M1A, you could probably put meat in your freezer your entire lifetime but if you expect to regularly make cross-canyon clean kills on unfamiliar ground at various angles with one and only one shot at 600+ yards and find your animal right next to where you hit it, you might experience some long periods of hunger. I know of a guy who hunts coyotes with a M1A. He likes it just fine but his shots are in keeping with the rifles design and of course he doesn't put up the fur. [/QUOTE]
