The advice about shooting dangerous game a 2nd time is absolutely sound! Heck I once had a Tom turkey, who I was 100% certain was deceased, wake up and nearly tear my @$$ apart. I finally had to lay on the dang thing and wring its neck before it killed me.

Re: 30/30 outperforms the 308 and 30/06 at 100 yards.

Even the most basic AR10 with a free float barrel will be more accurate than an M1A. While I like the platform the M1A requires A LOT of modifications to come even close.
