Springfield Armory M1A

This model features a 22-inch National Match Grade stainless steel barrel and a National Match tuned two-stage trigger, which are significant upgrades over standard factory components designed to enhance long-range accuracy and trigger consistency.

Yes, especially when chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, which is optimized for high velocity and flat trajectories. The combination of the National Match barrel and the precision-adjustable rear sight makes it a capable platform for engaging targets at extended distances.

The integrated muzzle brake is designed to mitigate felt recoil, which helps keep the rifle steady during follow-up shots. This is particularly useful given the caliber's power and the rifle's semi-automatic nature.

The M1A is available with either a standard composite stock or a precision-adjustable stock. If you plan on using optics or need a specific cheek weld for long-range shooting, the precision-adjustable option is the better choice.

Springfield Armory produces a specific CA-compliant model of the M1A to meet state regulations. Ensure you are purchasing the specific SKU designated as CA-compliant if you reside in California.

The rifle weighs 9.3 pounds. While it is robust and stable, it is on the heavier side compared to modern polymer sporting rifles, so it is best suited for bench shooting or stationary positions rather than long-distance trekking.
