Shooting the M1 Garand

[ltcboy]

The M1 Garand is grand, but the ARs shoot higher scores at 100 yards. Things can change at 300 or 600 yards where the heavier bullet of the .30-06 or .308 has an advantage. All the best...

While I will agree with you that the AR has become very popular in match competition, I will say this. The Garand has things that the AR will never have- class & character. I have also seen many people outshoot others shooting an AR with the M1 Garand. As far as your statemnet on the ammo- the 30.06 is probably the most versitile round out there. You take a USGI M1 recevier, use NM parts and put a Krieger barrel on it--that rifle will give any AR a run for its money. I think that it also has to do a lot with the skill of the shooter.
