I'll be short. Had an M1 scout and a Ruger 762. Both are sold in favor of 2 DPMS G2's and an M&P 10. The gas guns are simpler and lighter. Haven't seen any better accuracy out any of them compared to the others. Comes down to price, weight and parts. I would rather have 3 AR-10s that are similar platform then the 2 different high priced guns. I've never had any problems with any of them.
