[QUOTE="firefox, post: 703411, member: 4538"] Cecil, Any of the M1A variants are 'sniper-rifles' but the M25 has no iron sights. Mine will print better than my Remington 700 .308 5R at 100yds and shames it at 500 :D There are others out there that produce quality M14 variants...the wait time on the build is horrendous and warranty work is twice as long. I bought a bbl'd LRB and had Ronnie Morris build it up(a qualified M-14 'smith not too far from any of our homes) he is one of LRB's 'qualified' riflesmiths. Well my stick wouldn't print less than 6 inches at 100yds with FGMM 168gr...so I sent it in to LRB for a do-over...turned out the receiver was out of spec pertaining to the timing of the bbl threads and the rear-sight shelf. On a good note I told them to deposit the value of the rifle, my parts, and Ronnie's work into my account and keep the stick. Within 48 hours I had a deposit into my bank account for everything plus $100. I've also had warranty work to my Springfield M1A NM with Kreiger and McMillan turned out the rear-sight didn't track properly. I emailed my credintials from HP 'service-rifle' to SA Inc and had a new rear-sight by the next match. They did want me to send the rifle back in for a work-over but the next match was days away!
