For shooters seeking a semi-automatic rifle that blends battle-proven ergonomics with match-grade accuracy, the right platform makes all the difference. Whether used for training, competition, or defensive contingencies, a precision .308 rifle that delivers consistent groups and user-tunable ergonomics elevates performance across the board.

SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M1A LOADED

The SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M1A LOADED is a purpose-built entry in the Loaded Series that upgrades the Standard M1A with precision-focused components straight from the factory. Priced at $1699.99, this semi-auto .308 Winchester platform ships with a 22″ carbon steel National Match barrel that’s air-gauged for tighter tolerances, a fully adjustable stock in a Flat Dark Earth finish, and a true National Match sight set for immediate accuracy out of the box.

Chassis and Ergonomics

The fully adjustable stock lets shooters tune length of pull and comb height to drive consistent cheek weld and sight alignment. The Flat Dark Earth finish provides a low-reflective, duty-ready appearance while the medium-weight carbon-wrapped National Match barrel balances heat management and rigidity for repeatable shot placement. The rifle ships with a 10-round magazine capacity suited for range work and practical training drills.

Trigger and Sight System

Outfitted with a 4.5–5 lb two-stage trigger, the M1A LOADED gives a predictable initial take-up with a crisp secondary break—ideal for precision work under stress. The National Match front sight blade and non-hooded National Match rear aperture form a traditional aperture sighting system that many precision shooters prefer for rapid, precise alignment at varied distances.

Caliber Performance and Use Cases

Chambered in .308 Winchester, this platform offers versatile ballistics: proven stopping power, broad ammunition availability, and excellent long-range performance when combined with the National Match barrel. The semi-auto action makes the rifle suitable for tactical training, service rifle matches, and practical marksmanship where follow-up shots and rapid engagement are required.
