do i sell both and buy new? or keep one?

[Mumbles Marble Mouth]

The Socom 16 is restricted but the Dominion Arms Socom 18 is non restricted.

I'd be inclined to repair the Remington, and I would not dismiss the Semi Auto, nor would I cut the barrel down to a shorter length. If you sell one or both that would be ok. But do it after you find something your going to be happy with. You could probably find an older Browning A bolt (II) and not be disappointed in it's reliability and accuracy.

I wouldn't cut the barrel on the Benelli, it's going to be obnoxiously loud cut down to 18.5 or 20". Not a big fan of the 742's, so even if you're only going to get peanuts for it I'd sell them both and either get a nice R1 in 30-06 or BAR Mark III in 30-06 or .308. Other option is a really nice bolt gun in the caliber of your choice. Sako 85's, Kimber 84's or Cooper rifles are all outstanding choices IMHO. For hunting rifles I prefer bolt actions as they are generally lighter, shorter and more accurate than semis, although I do like my semis for playing around with at the range.

...looking for something semi auto, prefer 30-06 over .300 win mag. too bad a m14 socom cant be used for hunting.

The M14 socom is non restricted so why can you not use it for hunting?

Doesn’t the socom have a 16” barrel?

The DA socoms CanadaAmmo was selling are 18.5" NR..

Well then I think there’s your answer OP.

Sell them and buy the m14 you want.

Keep both and a buy a new one.

That's Gunnutz.

I think I would sell both, and buy the one I really want.

 

[anglia2]

Sell it all and find a BAR in .30/06.

I hate semi centerfires so my recommendation would be ditch them both and buy the best bolt action you can get with the money.
