[QUOTE="SES50, post: 275330, member: 7753"] I think you may have taken my responce that I am bashing the M1A. I love mine but his question was how the it would do as a long range hunting rifle. In my mind that is being able to reach out to 800-1000 yards. As I shoot mine at that distance on a regular basis I believe it is fine for punching paper at that distance but may lack the hitting power to drop a black tail at that distance. I also stated that I am having trouble getting under 1MOA. I am hovering right around 1-1.25MOA pretty consitently. If I am going to shoot deer at 1000 yards I personally would like more accuracy than that. My 338 Lapua is running around .3 MOA for a slightly lighter weight rifle which is nicer to carry when hunting. All i say is I think the M1A is lacking for long range hunting where you want to kill you game with 1 shot. [/QUOTE]
