I think one has to back up to intended use & desires for such a purchase. I/we have both, 2 Garands and a Springfield M1A. Yes, the Garand has the history & is a formidable rifle no doubt.
The M1A is no slouch. I think I’d grab that first over the Garand if I needed such a rifle. It just seems more trouble free, digest about any ammo without issues.
Just a layman’s opinion, yes I realize we won WW-II.
