DSA FAL or SA M1A (both standard, full size)
i'm trying to decide which of the two to buy. from what i've heard, the FAL seems to have an edge on ergonomics and reliability. the M1A seems to have the edge on accuracy. both seem to be great guns.
however, i do not shoot at all at 800 yards, and if the FAL is as good for pretty goods groups to at least 200 yards, (maybe 300 or 400 on rare occasions) then thats about all the accuracy i need.
which would you pick and why? is there any other info that you think i may find usefull? i think i'm leaning towards the FAL if the accuracy is good. i'd like to be able to mount a good scope on whichever i get.
