It's remarkable, the improvements made since that rifles inception. I'm an old DCM (that old) shooter and never thought that the AR would dislodge the M1A as the dominant High Power Match rifle. It has though.

That said, no military pattern rifle will ever be able to steal my heart away from my Garand (I said I was old didn't I?). It's a treat to be able to use the word "clip" with impunity and watch all the pedantic types twitch.

LOL! Real men carry clips.

Ah, but the mousegun has to cheat. Ammunition that doesn’t feed from the magazine, float tubes being a bit more involved than bedding.... Things like that. ;)

They shouldn’t twitch over an accurate statement. Now, you call the M14’s magazines “clips” and we’ll have words. ;)
