But I agree, M1As have WAAAAY more cool factor.
Not necessarily. M1A's are very accurate with a few simple mods you can do yourself. And the really don't cost anything. A standard AR15 is about a 3 moa rifle (so I've been told). A standard M1A with good match or reloads will easily do that or better. Just a word of advice on M1A's though, I personally would stay away from newer Springfields. Most of the parts are made of cast garbage and prone to breaking. USGI spec parts is the way to go with these rifles. And a good reciever helps a little too. More and more manufacturers are building parts for them now and most are as good or better than USGI. One could build a very accurate M1A for the price of an AR10 or LR308. And yes, the looks alone are way better.
