Went to my local toy store today to buy a hunting gun. I was going to buy a Desert Eagle... Luckily they didn't have any, because I know I would have regretted hunting with it in the end. I was playing around with a bunch of toys and the owner just walked out with this puppy to put it on the rack. I love the Socom, I had to pick it up. I was playing with the .460 and the SW 500, but I can't pass up a good m1a.

I also got my Buy Brown XDM with TLR-1 IWB holster. It's PERFECT, and it conceals the gun as well as a full size fighting pistol can be concealed. Thanks a ton Dave!

Today is a good day.

Nice! I have a SOCOM II and it's a great gun. I use a S&W 500 4" for my bear gun in Alaska. Can't say its real fun to shoot.
 
Man, I have been on the verge of dropping dime on a SOCOM II for
quite some time now.... LOVE EM'!!!

I may have to file suit and run down to my local FunShop...
Maybe they still have the one with months worth of my drool on it...

Nice pics!!
 
I have a socom 2 wish I got the 1 and I had a de a few years ago in 44 hated it I have heard the 50 is better my 44 always jammed I tryed all different kinds of ammo it could jam any thing sold it with no regreats just get a good trp 45 and call it good.
And for your socom go to shortrifles.com for the best stock ever a billet bullpup I will get one soon but cali won't let me
 
cool set up, got almost the same pistol set up my self :)

Awesome pics & thank you for the complement.

Glad you like the holster.
 
Cool rifle 230, M1-a's are one of my favs definately more power than the pistol and more range. Good choice, :thumbup::thumbup:
 
Great looking SOCOM. A much better hunting gun than the DE would have been. Very nice choice.
 
Hey that M!A is one of my favorites. I have the socom II and a walnut scout. THe round is deadly for deer and 5 round clips arent that hard to find.

Perfect all arrounder....fun, deadly, killer:cool:
 
Great choice. :D I have a SOCOM and I love it. Had both the SOCOM and the SOCOM II. Liked the original much better. It has been on lots of hunting trips and has never let me down. I think you made a good purchase that you will be happy with.

I'm holding out for a LRB Arms M25 Carbine- the Busse of M1As!

Nice rifle 230. Larry Vickers loves it too...

The socom II for me is a waste of weight, I have no use for the giant rail on this particular rifle. All that's getting added to it after rifle season is a micro aimpoint. I love those m1a bullpups though.

You went above and beyond for me Dave and I won't forget it. The holster is top quality, thanks again.

Yeah, but now I'm not going to look ridiculous. Although some of the guys I hunt with think if its not wood and blue, its a terrorist rocket launcher.

I like the scout a lot, but we do a lot of moving when we hunt, the smaller package, the better. I'd hate to lug the scout with wood around with all my other gear miles every day. The socom to me is perfect.

Thanks man.

I'd love an LRB, but man.. they're pricey. Next upgrade I do is probably going to be to throw this in a Sage stock and buy a new scout model.
 
Great choice 230 :thumbup: I have the Socom and it makes a great truck gun. It is loud with that short barrel :D
 
That is about the only gun I really want. I love those. I think I saw that you can get an OD green stock from the factory now.

I have read several times on many different forums. The if you could have one gun threads. The M1 is usually at the top. They are amazing weapons and have proven themselves for years.
 
nice choice 230! I came across one earlier this year and couldnt pass it up either.

did somebody mention the green stock!
