and an M1A when they became available. They served me well and I still have them. About 20 years ago I bought an old SP1 and discovered I liked it. Since, several AR's have occupied safe space and I would rely on the platform for emergency use.
I'm even thinking about a 308 version. None, however, will replace my liking for the lever actions, SA's and such. I appreciate the insight and comments on the AR's that come up here because they seem to come from first hand experience.
