Mini-G in 308 vs M1A Scout

[PhilRich]

Hi,
This is my first post here on this forum.

I'm deliberating between the mini G and the scout. In favor of the mini G is I like the enblocks and the lack of muzzle devices. In favor of the scout is the extra 2 inches of barrel and easier versatility to mount a scope. I'm not particularly found of having a compensator on the rifle. Flash suppressor would be OK.

I'd like to hear your about your experience/opinions concerning the choice between these two.

I cannot comment on the M1A scout, never shot one. I will say that the two inches shouldn't even factor into your decision. 2" equates to about 45fps and nothing on the sight radius. This being said, I or anyone else can make the rifle 2" longer. That's just standard "tanker" length.

200 Yards is a long way.

Pretty close I'd say. Iron sights at 200 yards is not that easy (at least not for me)
