I waited a long time to purchase this rifle, wish I would have done it years ago. It shoots great, too bad ammo is so expensive, I'd shoot it more often.

An absolute tack driver. Amazingly accurate rifle. A very heavy rifle but the firepower more than offsets the weight. Never had a failure to feed, eject or any type of malfunction in well over 2,000 rounds of the 7.62 Nato that used to be sold at Walmart at $9.95 per 20 rounds.

What is there to say that had not already been said about Springfield Armory’s time tested M1A?! Absolutely a well made firearm in my opinion. Never had a issue yet with it. I liked the National Match that I later bought a Supermatch. You can’t go wrong, and now Springfield only makes the Standard version, and no National Match or Supermatch!

I absolutely love this rifle, and am glad I spent the extra money to get a NM. With AR-Comp and168s, the groups are tighter than I ever dared hope for. It’s been stone reliable from day one. My only complaint is that Springfield should have done a nicer job finishing the stock. It’s not bad, but for $2k, the extra 5 minutes of prettying it up seems I order. That said, it seems like wood finish is where everyone is cutting corners these days.
Bottom line: one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.

I've wanted one of these for years, had one in the Army in 1967 in RVN. I'm not disappointed with this one, best battle rifle ever in my opinion.

Beautiful rifles, I have waited over 2 years to be able to own one of these beautiful rifles. The wood is gorgeous and action seem smooth. I can't wait to get out to the range and see how great they shoot!

Picked up my Rifle today there is nothing to say but its a great piece to own. I will post more after I get to go to the range with it.

Hard not to say anything positive about a Rifle that has been used for decades. Worth every penny you spend for it. Buds is always the best choice for purchasing a firearm, as I took a month to reasearch where to get it and ultimately saved $2k buying it through Buds instead of going through the local retail shops. I did have to wait almost 2 weeks to get the rifle after it was purchased from BUDS, but that's really not an issue when they're saving me so much money. Buds Team is always very professional and always there if you have questions.

A great rifle. The process was simple. All I had to do was pick it up from the FFL. No issues.

Awesome gun!! Love the looks, the feel, and the way it shoots. Took it out to the range to break in the barrel and shooting at 65 yards the rifle never left the 10 circle and ate up the bullseye straight out of the box with no sight adjustments, and this was my first time shooting open sights in over 20 years. Can't wait to try it out at 100 plus yds!! Great, and speedy service from Buds as always, and the price could not be touched anywhere that I could find. This so far is my favorite rifle that I own!

Great rifle , planning on getting the SOCOM II next and great service from Bud's Guns will use again for sure.

WOW!!!! this rifle is sick... Out of the box sub moa and after I dropped it in a Sage EBR chassis it is ready to eat up the range! only complaint I have with the rifle is that the national match sights field of view is to small for anything other than bench or match shooting. If you want to run and gun you better get a green laser,red dot or low power fixed optic.This rifle is tied for my favorite in my collection along with my hk mr556a1

Unlike the previous review, mine must not have been a Monday gun. My rifle arrived in superb condition and I was very pleased with the overall aesthetics of the rifle, from the wood and color to the action. It was 3 months before I had my first chance to fire the rifle, but when the day came the rifle performed without flaw. Iron sights at 197 yds put 7 out of 10 on a 2 inch target of a white pine marker stake. Attribute the misses to the shooter. The action, fit, finish and the remarkable lack of recoil (compared to my .308 Savage Model 12 LP) amazed even a skeptic like myself. I was pleasantly surprised that the ejection didn't throw the casings willy nilly and it was easy to find and collect my brass. In that 3 month waiting period before firing I went over every aspect of the rifle to be certain it would function as advertised. No complaints here.

I loved the looks & feel of this rifle, but that is where the good stops. After shooting 3" groups at best, I took the rifle to one of the best in the business. The following was discovered: the castle nut was only finger tight, the front site was loose and about to fall off, the barrell was misaligned and required refitting, the bedding needed clearanced for the action, the gas system required tuning. This must have been a Friday or Monday gun. It now shoots sub-MOA at 300 yards, no thanks to Springfield.
