Springfield Armory

MSRP $1945

The M1A series of rifles, a semi-automatic rifle inspired by the classic U.S. Military M14, offers shooters a chance to own an icon. Chambered in .308 Win. or 6.5 Creedmoor, the M1A is offered in classic and traditional models as well as tuned precision variants and modern tactical versions.

The M1A™ Scout Squad™ combines the legendary power and reliability of the M1A™ with the quick handling and fast sight acquisition of a scout-style rifle. This means your rugged outdoors life just got a whole lot better.

From the two-stage military trigger to the aperture-style rear sight (adjustable for windage and elevation), the Scout Squad™ takes the M1A™ design and adds a forward mount scope for the added versatility of extended eye relief optics. Its barrel is shortened to 18″, so its short, handy dimensions will never get in the way of your big plans.

Designed for quick snap shots at a target, the Scout Squad™ is packed with all the standard features that make the M1A™ great, plus new features like a specially designed muzzle brake to help tame recoil. The M1A™ Scout Squad™ gives you the maneuverability of a scout rifle with the same power and features of a legendary American rifle. You’re welcome.

The Springfield Armory® Standard Issue M1A™ is a timelessly effective design, but sometimes circumstances call for something just a little bit shorter. The M1A Scout Squad rifle is 100% M1A, but with the 6-groove 1:11" twist carbon steel barrel trimmed back to 18". Featuring military aperture sights with 1-MOA adjustments and a rugged black composite stock, this compact rifle runs great on the hunt, from a vehicle, or around the farm.
