M1A accuracy

I am thinking about buying a SA M1A and would like to know what kind of accuracy to expect. ie... the service model, national match, super match. etc....

Thanks all

Short answer = around 1 MOA. For all you ever wanted to know about M1A Accuracy see link. (8th post down will tell you why they are hard to keep accurate)

The super match i just got was built by the late Glen Nelson and with good ammo it will shoot one ragged hole at 100yds, it opens a bit a 200yds but still real tight. Its been bedded in a Mcmillan m3a stock. I couldnt ask for more out of it.

My bone stock standard will shoot MOA (with a scope)

All the M1As I had in the past shot at least 1.5" or better at a hundred with good federal premiums on peeps. Have not put the Scout on paper yet. Should fare just as well.
