imschur Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I missed a great deal on one of these a while ago. It was what i think they call urban camo maybe. It was white and gray. Anyhow i still want one. Anybody here own or ever own one? Last time I asked this question elswhere it just turned into a brawl about Springfield Armories quality.The Fulton Armory Socom is nice but a lot more expensive.

SWshooter Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I wanted one for a long time but they are just too pricy for me to justify. I picked up my LR-308 instead, figuring I'm more used too the AR sytem anyway. Now that I've worked with it a little I think it is much more user friendly than the M-14 family. However, if one showed up at a price I could afford it would definitely go home with me. It's just a classic main battle rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I missed it at $1495. The same shop has it close to $2000 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherPlayer Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I know it's not exactly the same but Botach Defence has the Springfield M1A Socom 16 Rifle for 1585 member price.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit10-4 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Yeah, I saw that on Botach (BY THE WAY IF YOU HAVENT HEARD ME SAY IT BEFORE, BOTACH ROCKS!!!) and thats a killer price at $1585. I have been seing them used for $1600-$1800 on GB. I have a good buddy that has one and it is a sweet rifle, and the sound you get when shooting one is second to none! I love that clang! The accuracy is not that great, but if you are looking at a 16" thats probably not your main concern. I was not impressed with the plastic stock either, its kinda like a cheap Rem 700 adl synthetic stock if you know what I mean. I really did like the older camo one that you are speaking of, I havent seen one of those in a while. Bottom line I guess is, it is what it is and a fine piece at that, so if you want one by golly, buy one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
