now i'd like a brand new rifle to be hauled in my brand new truck for our hunting trips and to accompany us on our off-road wanderings..

i've narrowed to three:
Remington 7400 wood stock .308 22" bbl $624
Springfield M1A Scout Squad, Walnut stock .308 18" bbl $1727
Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 "ugly plastic" stock .308 16" bbl $1900?

got any ideals or advice?

I'm leaning towards the Remington 7400...

of those choices I'd get a M1A

I guess you can't buy a FAL www.dsarms.com

or AR10 www.armalite.com since your in Kali ??

DPMS & www.Bushmaster.com are making .308 AR's now too

only DPMS site I could find
http://www.dpmsinc.com/10browse.asp?...ms:A-15+Rifles


I would also choose a Browning BAR over the Remington 7400

If your looking for something as short as the M1A scout maybe one of these too www.remingtonle.com/rifle/7600.htm


you might surf www.ar15.com www.falfiles.com www.thehighroad.org


for a short/light & handy bolt gun consider a Remington model 7
http://www.remington.com/firearms/ce...centerfire.htm

or a Ruger 77 MkII compact (16" barrel)
http://www.ruger.com/Firearms/FAProd...famid&famid=27


OR back on the Remington LE site check out out the 20" 700 LTR


OR maybe a 20" Savage 10FP
