I used to shoot a freinds standard GI model all the time. It fit nicely, felt good and was deadly accurate!
The question is, what variant to get?
Are you looking at:
Standard, Match, National Match, Scout, Socom 16, Socom II?
Then we have the barrel type and furniture to consider. Of course there are also triggers, sights and flashsuppresors and compensators.
For me, I am debating between the Socom 16 and the Match Variant with black synthetic furniture and a chrome barrel, with a national match sight and California Legal Compensator.
They are very cool with lots of accessories availavble! And you can use them for pliinking <if you can afford the ammo> as well as competion and just general shooting! A true piece of working art!

I like the Standard version. I'm a simple kind of guy. I'm considering that or an AR15, the M4 version with the colapsable buttstock. I've never fired the M4, and have never been real fond of the M16 series, but I like that collapsable stock so I can teach my daughter to shoot. That and there's several boxes of .223 at my aunt's house I may be able to con my cousin out of. She gave me 4 boxes of .380 last year when i griped I couldn't find any in the stores.
