I was just wondering, because I'm planning a SW-SG-1 Crossover and planned on locating the SW Galaxy there.

Has SGC explored the Andromeda Galaxy?

Pegasus is 70 Million light years away, whereas Andromeda is only about 2.5 million light years away, so while it hasn't been mentioned in any episode or movie I know of, it would be surprising if there hasn't been at least one quick survey trip to check out the nearest big galaxy to the Milky Way.

Pegasus is 3 million light-years away. I don't know where you got 70.
It's not as if there's any way to do a "quick" survey of a galaxy either. We don't even know if there are gates there. Sure you can go by ship but in our galaxy the Ancients/Goa'uld already did the work of identifying habitable planets for us when they placed gates there. We're talking about a logistical nightmare with no identifiable payoff.
"BRITTA? WHAT KIND OF LAME NAME IS THAT?"

The Senate Appropriations Committee was happy when the Goa'uld were defeated as they could then focus on Pegasus, and with the Wraith still out there and the Lucian Alliance in the Milky Way, I doubt they will want to expand anywhere else for now.I'VE GONE WIKI-MAD!!!!

I think the lack of obvious enemies would make a galaxy like Andromeda attractive, at least in a few years time anyway. Earth are going to want resources and a galaxy like Andromeda could likely allow a near endless supply with potentially zero risk of any problems. Remember a gate-bridge can be built there if the destination planet has a DHD and stargate imported. Once that is established exploration and creation of outposts would be at a reduced cost and difficulty.

That detail didn't escape me. I am referring to a scenario where the LA become too powerful and the risk of terrorist attack becomes too great to justify exploration and exploitation. I can envision someone opting to take a chance with a galaxy without infrastructure but ultimately without risk.
I think it depends on how big the LA become. They could potentially become more powerful than the Goa'uld simply because they are united and see Earth as the biggest threat to their growth. They were shown to be a sufficient threat in SGU and they have the whole gate network at their disposal. If they are defeated in battle quick enough or fall to civil war then yes the MW would be facoured.

Secondly, our galaxy is so insanely big that such a situation won't occur. Even if we're talking tens of thousands of stargates, that means there's one stargate per million or so stars.... There's plenty of space.

The short answer is no...and Andromeda is not 70 million light years away but 3millionsigpic

We have hundreds of billions of stars in our own galaxy. Theres probably thousands of advanced civilizations for the SGC to yet discover and skirmish with. There is plenty of exploration and resource gathering to do right here. But lets say they do decide to venture and explore new horizons, there are multiple dwarf galaxies close to us that would merit a visit, if only to plant a flag and pick a fight, for a change.

You'd need quite long-running surveys before you can be certain
