Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Anyone have an M1A or M14 they use as a truck gun/hunting rifle?

Don't doubt the 30/30 either. This may turn out to be one of my dumber purchases, but with so many M1A people that are adamant about how great the rifle is, hard to give one a rip

Well I must be a goofy bastid as well. I know its a new toy but for a nice truck gun/hiking gun try a Marlin 336 in 30-30 or 1894 in 357 or 44 mag. A used one will run you about 20% of the cost and you can use the extra cash for your other projects. With a little practice, the lever guns make quite a home/self defense weapon.

If you just want one, then go for it though in my limited experience, I like the M-1a better.

FWIW, the only rifle that gets left in my truck/Jeep is a MN M38. The SOCOM only came with me if I knew I was 4 wheeling or hiking. For 75 bucks I wont cry when I find rust or if it happens to get stolen.
