Donnie, you may not like bolts (either right or left), in general, but I figured I'd post the video below which shows Ryan Gresham with a Savage straight pull bolt rifle, that can be set up as either bolt on right, or bolt on left. Since he's a lefty, he set it up on the left. It's a short video (approximatly 2:35, add it looks like that Savage has a nice trigger too). Just showing their are options in bolt rifles, or maybe just going with another AR10 style semi auto rifle might work for you.

In my opinion it all depends on the model. A standard M1A is a 1.5 to 2 MOA rifle out of the box. The National Match model probably shoots straighter than that, but I'm not sure. I've never shot one. I have two M1A's. The Scout Squad and the SOCOM CQB. I can tell you The Scout is a 1.5 to 2 MOA carbine out of the box. The best I've done with it was ringing a 15" gong consistantly from a rest shot after shot at 350yds witch is plenty satisfactory for me out of a Scout style carbine with an 18 or 18.5 incn barrel. My SOCOM is a CQB weapon with a non magnified optic so I dialed it in at 50 yrds and was ringing a 12" gong consistantly at 100yds witch was also plenty satisfactory for me out of a CQB carbine. However, Neither the Scout nor the SOCOM were designed for extreme or even long range shooting. You'd be better of with the M1A "Loaded" or "National Match" models for that with thier 22" match grade barrels. Once again this all just my opinion brother. Hope this helps. Shoot fun, Shoot safe and Shoot straight!

The reason I asked accuracy is I'm all over the place at 100 but want to shoot up to 700 yards out.

I am getting shots all over the place at 100, I'm pretty shocked but will try to run it through the paces again.

With all due respect Donnie .......... practice, practice, practice might eventually get you on dogs at 700 yds. That's a pretty good stretch for even many of the best. Pigs at 300 should be an easy reach for you at some point, but again it's practice, practice, practice.

Pigs are far more often a standing target than the dogs especially when at a feeding trough, but not always. Either of them on the move is a real test of the shooter's skill. And out of curiosity, why such a big difference in distance in the two proposed targets?

Ok, you talked me into it, I'll shoot pigs at 700 too. didn't mean to discriminate. I hit a dog at 500 awhile back. I see more dogs than pigs, most of the dogs I see are at a longer distance, there is flat ground around me. I see pigs when i travel up in elevation, therefore there are hills which limit things while shooting pigs.
 
Absolutely try to eliminate every possible source of any lack of inherent accuracy. Double check your mounts and rings. You still need to try some various ammo to find what your gun really likes best. Yeh, it can get a little expensive especially in these days, but you'll know when you find it. That rifle will let you know.

As for the Sadlak, here's a link to a whole list of reviews about how to properly mount it and some problems with it and how to fix them:
