I just like the accuracy and reliability of the M1A as well as it’s ability to reach out for the long stop shot !

No doubt about that. Mine's a no kidding 800 yard rifle. Ain't nothing in a half mile circle going to be alive if I decide otherwise.

But it's big, it's heavy, and it's unwieldy in close quarters. So in my SHTF scenario, at least in my area, I think it'll be the AK over the M1A. Or perhaps I put the AK in Mrs. L's hands and back her up with the M1A......best of both worlds so to speak.
