That M1A1 sounds really good,I've used an FN FAL(7.62 x51 NATO)in the Australian Army and I imagine the recoil is very similar,manageable but very noticeable.
If you are using Mil Spec 7.62x51 NATO it should all be fine.If you try some long range shooting you could do a comparison between the NATO Spec ammo and some high performance loads in the Rem 770 to see if it effects the zero.
If there is minimal difference you could stay with the NATO ammo in both, Rem770 and the M1A1 and God forbid, if this situation goes tits up, the US Military has lots of 7.62x51 NATO ammo for their M60s,M240s,M134mini guns.
Same goes with the Mini 14,the US Military has more 5.56x45 NATO than you can poke a stick at.
You could try to work the wife up to 300 yards at least with the Mini 14 and see how she goes.
It all sounds good,you and the wife are tooled up well! Enjoy!
As an after thought you could ask a gun dealer ect, if the MIAI can use the same magazines as an FN FAL, and if so you could try to get some 30 round FN FAL mags.
I don't know if they are legal or available in America,but they give you good high capacity when you need it.
The 30 round mags are for the heavy barrelled FN FAL(L2A2)but alot of people, like the SAS,used them on the standard light barrelled FN FAL(L1A1)
This has been some serious gun fagging......
Barrett M82 shooters enter the conversation.......
Enjoy and have fun,fren!
