If I could only keep one it would be the Garand. I’ve got a lifetime supply of brass, and as long as bullets and primers and powder can be found it’s the one. A tack driver. Not a .22 BB gun either.
Thanks. I was already leaning towards the Garand because I already have several .30-06 rifles but none in .308. And even though they seem to be a bit less expensive, an M1A would mean adding another cartridge to my stocks of ammo, getting another set of reloading dies, etc.
