Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 308 Semi Auto Rifle
[AA9626]

by Ashton H
Date Added: Thursday 09 June, 2016

First off I ordered this rifle on 06/07/16 and received it at my FFL the NEXT DAY on the 8th. In one of my previous reviews I made a comment about how Buds service was slipping and man I couldn\'t have been more wrong so I certainly apologize to Buds for that.
The gun its self is absolutely beautiful although I would admittedly go with the OD green if given the chance again. I expected this rifle to be a bit on the heavy side but to my surprise it\'s much lighter than I anticipated. Mounting some sort of forward optic had been my original plan but after receiving it and shooting with the iron sights I\'ve decided not to put a forward optic after all. The tritium insert in the front sight post is fantastic and not only helps in low light conditions but it also gives a good reference point for longer distance targets (and you\'ll see what I mean when you buy it).
The recoil was also another nice surprise, it\'s more than manageable and helps tremendously in quick target acquisition. I noticed one comment saying the stock was no good but from what I can tell it\'s about as solid as they come. The storage compartment behind the butt plate is also neat but would have been even better if it came with some sort of basic tool kit. I\'m very happy with the Springfield soft carry case it came with as well, it has Velcro straps to keep your rifle secured and another area to hold four magazines. Overall I\'m more than satisfied with this rifle so if you\'re looking for a shorter more compact M1A that still has all the great features I can\'t recommend this enough. Don\'t forget to look at the M1A Scout, it\'s a happy medium between this short rifle and the longer original M1A. I hope this helps some of you in your decision making process and I can guarantee you won\'t be disappointed in this beauty.
