I love the M14, it's the rifle I shoot best with, I think its a combination of its sights, balance and trigger.

I think the issue was that it was kind of overrated, and then a lot of unjust hate came in more recent years when it became apparent that the M14 and it's derivatives didn't stack up too well against modern ARs and other rifles. Also, you have people like these retards who cannot figure out how to use the iron sights.

My favorite part about the M14 vs FAL criticism is that they cite the M14 being heavy and long, when it's slightly shorter and lighter than the FAL, at least the T48 that was evaluated.

M1As are getting pretty cheap, I think they've gone down in price since interest in them has weaned. I got this national match for 1700 just a couple weeks ago, it came with 8 checkmate magazines too. A LGS had a loaded and tanker model for ~2200 which is high.

The best of the big three IMO.
