Springfield M1A
I am thinking about getting a Springfield National Match M1A rifle, and I would like to know has any one shot this rifle and what do you think of it?

In what regard?
I've had one for years. Back when I could see well, I simply used iron sights. Now it wears glass and a very expensive ($340) scope base and rings ($120). Cheaper can be had, but they shoot like you'd expect. Too heavy to hunt with, though that was never what I intended to do with it. I play with it on the KD range. Good magazines are expensive. Again, there are cheaper magazines available. I made the mistake of buying two different versions of cheep magazine and both have feeding problems. Stick with the $50+ GI/Springfield Armory magazines. Otherwise.... Very reliable, very accurate (mine's got a match barrel, trigger, and sights - obviously the sights don't make a difference anymore). |
Outstanding rifle! Top shelf all the way. Both the match and super match are sniper grade out of the box.

there is a very good reason for the m1a to be the top demanded rifle among nato countries. although people give them a bad rap for accuracy, i think this is due to snipers/designated marksmen comparing them to remmy 700s. i havent tried any of the super match models but ive had alot of fun playing around with the soccom models, which i think is dang near the perfect whitetaill deer rifle in warm weather.

Great rifle,
A friend has one , he sent it to Springfield for the scope mount base installation. Great shooter , not a hunting rifle of course but again great shooter. I liked it so much I ordered one some 7 months ago and counting. I contacted the company inquiring about the delay and was told they are backed up due to demand.Supposedly they're running 3 shifts 24/7 due to the greatest gun sales man of all time. The model I ordered is the 9222 , but I occasionaly run into a Socom or a standard variant at gun shops or gun shows. Good with your decision. |
I have a National match .You don't want to be on the other end of that boy for any reason.Up to a thousand meters of course.:s4:

Thank for all the impute Like I said I am looking at the National Match
But I may go on and up for the Super match. Like I said I am sorry I did not get back before now FLU |
You are looking at a heavy weight rifle without the scope and mag. Some states have a round rule, some 5 or 10 ronds in the mag. As for a shooting rifle i carried one in the miltary. I shot out to 1100 meter all day long.
