I don't know when you got out of the military, but the M-16 is a lot better than when I was in. The Garands and the M1A's are disappearing from the High Power Matches. 600 yards max.
The M-16's are also a lot easier to maintain.
Overall though, I can't argue that a scoped M-14 is an incredible weapon for 600-900.

Don't need a scope with an M-14 with match sights for anything under 1000 meters!
Dang it - can't find my pictures at the Far Eastern Division Rifle Matches - I did get the Lloyd Trophy at the 1974 Matches! WITH an M-14!
