I used early-90s SuperMatch and Match rifles for Service Rifle competition and never had any reason to doubt their quality. The Scout Squad I owned a few years ago was a poor comparison; quality-wise, not accuracy-wise, as I don't think comparing accuracy is fair. The newer guns seem to have poorer quality (non-GI) parts and lack of finish on wood stocks. If I was going to buy an M1A today, whether it was for match use or general fun/utility use, I'd look at Bula Defense.
