Never was a hater myself - haven't been without a selection
since the late 70's. They are very handy, useful, and I never found them to be overly finicky. Most of mine through the years have been A1 style 20" guns. I never warmed to the heavy barrels - too nose heavy for my taste, plus if it weighs 10-12lbs I'd rather carry a M1A or Garand. Somewhere in the safe there is an old HBAR 1-7. Never shot or carried it much.
As a teenager, the SP-1s were my favorite for hunting stock-killing feral dogs and they were very effective even with standard 55gr FMJ ammo. A good 14-16" gun with a good ACOG would be even better!
