SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M1A LOADED

What makes this Loaded model stand out

The Loaded Series combines the appearance and tradition of the Standard M1A with all the upgrades you want to take the rifle to the next level. This SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M1A LOADED features a medium-weight premium air-gauged National Match barrel that enhances consistency and accuracy at extended ranges. For precision work, it also includes a National Match tuned 4.5–5 lb two-stage trigger that shortens the learning curve for shooters transitioning from bolt guns to a semi-auto platform.

Optics, sights, and fit for precision

National Match sighting components are installed out of the box: a National Match front sight blade paired with a non-hooded National Match rear aperture for clear, repeatable sight picture and rapid target acquisition. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering on this model provides a modern long-range cartridge with high ballistic coefficients, flatter trajectories, and reduced wind drift compared to many traditional .30-caliber rounds—ideal for mid- to long-range competition and precision hunting.

Trigger and barrel synergy

The tuned 4.5–5 lb two-stage trigger and the air-gauged barrel were selected to work together: lighter, predictable break on a semi-auto platform improves shot placement and follow-up speed without sacrificing safety or reliability in dynamic environments.

Price: $1,740.99 — a competitive figure for a National Match-equipped semi-auto that ships with factory attention to detail and fitment.
