German/Israeli K98 Mauser

Very cool collections! I just picked up a new Springfield M1A standard for my collection. I haven't fired it yet, the ammo question needs some research. The manual says it will shoot both 7.62 and .308, but the box it came in says .308. Im probably making a big deal from nothing, but I may call springfield

Look below your iron sights. Use the ammo stamped on the barrel. My guess, if its an M1A, will say 7.62. Always use whats stamped on the receiver. Of any rifle. Or handgun. American Eagle sells ammo with a label 'for use with M1A'. Its 7.62x51. Scope that thing(Basset makes a good mount but you will wait a bit). With a good scope, steady hand, good ammo and good eyes you'll knock 'em down at 700 yards.
