I am looking at the Socom 16, the Scout Squad or a Loaded. All of them have attributes I want but I can't have them all.

With the Socom or Scout there is the forward rail. The Socom has a Tritium front sight that I like. But the Loaded has the better rear sight barrel and the tuned trigger.

So which did you choose and why?
My very first was a Scout Squad and I firmly believe the 18.0" barrel is the very best length length for general purpose shooting... I like mine with a GLFS and a DC Vortex from SEI.

If you prefer a traditional stock consider installing the M8 hand guard from UltiMAK and a low sitting Aimpoint or Scout scope.

I you want a pistol grip consider an EBR chassis from SAGE. BTW, you can have any M1A/M14 trigger tuned after buying the rifle.

My collection includes a 16.25", two 18.0" and two 22.0" configurations.
