    Soccom II

    I recently picked up a Soccom II just because I've always wanted a Tanker M1Aicon. My M1A is fine but its a wee bit long, I removed the Quad rail on it, put on a M1A handguard and sent it to the range with the family sniper (son #1) and shooting M2 K/o reloads he put up 5 shot, 1 MOA groups @ 100 yards with the pig-me. Is this typical of this rifle??-SDH

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Uh,.... A little better than expected as regards accuracy.

    However, I myself never shoot worse than 1 MOA- even standing and blindfolded. Gotta keep up w/ the Joneses, don't ya know...

    Interesting post. I got a SOCOM 11 a few years ago and realized I would have preferred a scout rifle I think they refer to it as a Squad Rifle.

    I asked an "expert" about it and it seemed I'd need to rebiuld the rifle best yet tyrade it.

    I'm curious as to what you relpaced as the rails came off? Haven't looked at it in this light but thought I'd ask. The rails seem to be too high for my reflex sight and probably others as well. Just interested in your rifle and appreciate your thoughts.
    Thanks

    SAI call it the Scout and it has the 18" barrekl over the 16" barrel and it costs a lot less than the tricked out SOCOMII

    All are variations on the same marketing ploy by SA Inc: Make a rifle that has no advantage over the existing items out there, advertise it aggressively, & folks will pay a premium price for it. Note that no police or military organization has bought a single one.
