Easily one of my favorite rifles. I put a Leopold long eye relief scope on it and a bi-pod and everytime my range pals see it for the 1st time they're in love. It shoots great and is sexy AF IMHO

Very cool rifle, good trigger, good looks, funtions perfectly...quite pricey though. Paid 1,850 before tax four months ago and now its up to 1,910 if you pay cash...price going up faster than inflation, which is hard to imagine. I do recommend you get one if you're on the fence.

First of All it`s a Springfield M1 A. It`s beautiful in a utilitarian way, comfortable to shoot and it is accurate enough for my shooting endeavors. I will say this, it`s really loud and has a lot of blast from the muzzle devise that came with the rifle. It`s heavy ish but it functions perfectly and at the time of my purchase Springfield was giving away free mags with your purchase. It was a win win situation. I enjoy this rifle.

M1A Springfield. I think this gun speaks for itself. 308 round, well known for quality. Was shipped on the date that was stated. This will be another one of my never sell rifles.

Very nice rifle. Make sure you buy either Springfield or check-mate mags for it. I could not get older m14 mags to chamber a round. The rifle is heavy, but quality abounds. If you have the opportunity, pick one up, you won’t be disappointed.

Excellent rifle, wish I would not have waited so long to purchase one. FYI the wood stock looks way better then the black composite.

The Springfield M1A Scout Squad is a classic. This rifle has a beautiful walnut stock that is worth the extra weight. The picitinny rail is a nice standard feature for mounting a red dot scope. The iron sights are tried and true without a scope. This is a old design that has withstood the test of time. Do not look for a modern rifle in the M1A. If you are in the market for an all around battle rifle that is easy to keep on target, this is a good choice.

Bud's delivered! Thanks for great customer service in changing FFL. My usual FFL was still shutdown do the the virus. Bud's CSR was knowlegable, quick, and professional.
My Springfield Armory M1A SCOUT SQUAD 308 Walnut Black weapon is as described. Shoots outstanding out of the box. Quick to zero with iron sights. This was my first order with Bud's and will likely use again.
Thanks!

Really nice long rife. Have not shot it yet but the fit, finish, and general feel will not disappoint. Came with a nice soft case, lock, a SA manual as well as a technical manual reprint from the US Army (I think dated in early '60s). My decision points in buying this? Love the history attached to the M1A/M-14 and the fact that it is still in service alongside the M-16/M-4 etc. which is a testimony to it's design and punch that it delivers.
Mine is the walnut stock which is in keeping with the original design. Was on the fence b/t the standard issue with the 22" barrel but I decided to go with the scout version. Probably will not put an optic on this since the iron sites are so good....looks so good without.

M1A Scout Squad
Beautiful wooden stock delivered promptly with no issues.
Awesome shooter. Recoil is not any worse than my my 12guage.
I love this gun

Beautiful gun, arrived in great condition. Using the approved list of FFL dealers made the purchase/transfer very easy.

I have taken this beauty out to the range a few times now and put everything from Federal 7.62 NATO to Tula .308 and it will eat whatever you feed it. It was very easy to disassemble and clean. I was honestly very surprised at how easy it was to get apart, I have handled some rifles that you practically need an Engineering degree to clean. Once I got the sights dialed in, I began to understand why this sight system is one of the highest regarded as far as iron sights go. Firearms are not a beauty contest, but if they were, this thing would be in the running for sure. The pictures don't do it justice one bit, and the pictures look great. Before I even got the thing to the range, it was already worth every penny I paid, but then getting to go shoot it solidified this as the best gun purchase I have made to date.

This is my second purchase from Buds and just like the first it was painless and very enjoyable. Everyone you speak with is always very helpful and they know the products. Hard to find that these days. I purchased a Springfield M1A Scout Squad 308 Walnut. It is a beauty and even came in a very nice case with handle and a pouch to put four 20 round mags in, nice surprise. I have been wanted one ever since humping one around Viet Nam in '66 with the 1st Marine Division. It shoots as good or not better than I remember . Also surprising from the factory at 100 yds it was only shooting a little low. After making the correction it was right on every shot. As you can see I love my new M1A and highly recommend Bud's

This is a very accurate rifle. It didn't really surprise me, because our military use to carry this great rifle. My dad carried one back in his day. He love it, and now I do to.

The rifle came in a very nice case, although it is a little large. The rifle is perfect and I am well pleased. I've only put ten rounds through it so far but it functioned flawlessly. I need to find the perfect scout scope to go on this perfect rifle. It comes to the shoulder effortlessly and smoothly. I'm really going to enjoy this gun.

Thank you Buds for your quick and easy process, as well as your helpful staff. My M1A Scout Squad is by far my favorite weapon. Field stripping is a bit more involved than an AR, but once you learn the process (which is not hard to do), it’s not bad. I love the quality of this rifle - I got the wood stock and everything feels rock solid. I’ve been to the range twice, first time to zero it, second time to have fun. I’ve shot a total of 120 rounds through it. I experienced zero issues (e.g. FTF, FTE, light primer strikes, etc)...just point and shoot reliability. I love shooting this rifle...It is a very soft shooter for a 308, and very accurate. This is a larger rifle, it didn’t fit in my rifle bag I use for my AR; however, Springfield provides a nice bag with the rifle. I’m already planning on saving $ for another one in a different configuration. Thanks Buds!

I did a trade for this rifle ... I am so happy that I did! This rifle is the real deal and put together so well. Stick with factory / USGI mags, stay away from cheap (Russian steel cased) ammo, and just wait for all the admirers that look over your should to gawk at this beauty. A true piece of American ingenuity! BTW the trade with Buds Guns was outstanding ... So easy and fast ... fair value for my trade that was way more than what anyone else offered. Rifle fires nice and targeting is easy as can be with the iron sights. Excellent fit and finish. Comes with a soft side case. Buy this rifle and you will have a real rifle for life. Thank you Buds!!!
