almost forgot to ask: production guns, which are more accurate? AR16 style with .223 or M1A with .308? 10 years ago I wouldn't have considered this a question....
Both types in any form can be extremely accurate. What it comes down to is maintenance. I am not talking about cleaning and that type of stuff. I am talking about keeping the total system operating in accurate trim. The Army Marksmanship Unit has gone to the AR types because they require about 1/10th the maintenance to keep functioning accurately. In respect to what I have just said if you are not intimately familiar with the finer points of tuning an M1A and keeping it in tune then I would definitely suggest AR as your best bet. If you prefer 308 over 223 check out the SR-25 from Knights Armament Co. or the AR-10 from Armalite. One final thought every gunsmith as an opinion and that is all this is. Hope this helps.
Military marksmen are breaking all the old records previously held by the M14/m1A .308 with competition AR's with heavy rates of twist and non military standard .223 heavy bullets.
