Been in the market for a .308 for a while, and have always had my eye on the M1A, but the .308s are not legal to buy here. I've heard nice things about the performance of 6.5 Creedmoor, and I'm fairly impressed by the Loaded M1A, but I'm wondering if maybe I shouldn't just buy an AR-10 instead.
I've heard that AR-10s are lighter, easier to service, more accurate, and they're obviously much more modular. It also seems that .308 ammo would be easier to come by, especially with the current shortage. I'm also concerned that Congress may eventually make it harder to get hold of one of these in the future, whereas the loaded M1A seems less at risk of this.
Any advice, experiences, or insights would be appreciated. Presently I'm looking for a relatively versatile weapon in a larger caliber and my budget is roughly in the $1800-$2500 range.
