About Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM
Before Springfield Armory introduced the M1A SOCOM 16 in 2004, 7.62 NATO power in a package this small was previously unthinkable. Shooters who need a compact rifle no longer have to settle for a lesser caliber, although they can expect less felt recoil and less muzzle rise, thanks to the SOCOM 16's unique design. The SOCOM 16 starts with a specially-engineered 16" Parkerized carbon steel barrel that is mated to the gas system with a proprietary muzzle brake. The muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and keeps muzzle rise so flat that follow-up shots have never been so easy. The enlarged ghost ring aperture rear sight and XS Tritium Insert in the front sight give you the quick target acquisition capability you want and need under any conditions. If your mission calls for optics, the SOCOM 16 features Springfield Armory's forward scout-style Picatinny mount. Of course, the SOCOM 16 also has the legendary performance and reliability that M1A shooters have come to love and expect. If your mission requirements call for a compact tactical rifle, but won't let you sacrifice power, you need the SOCOM 16. Caliber: 7.62X51MM NATO (.308WIN) Length: 37.25" Front Sight: XS Post w/ Tritium Insert, .125 Blade Barrel: 16.25" Twist 1 In"; RH; 6-Groove Carbon Steel Weight (with Empty Magazine): 8.8 lbs.

Nothing much to review? The gun and timely delivery were on point! Love my M1A SOCOM. Sorry not to say more, however, I have to adorn her :) for battle readiness and get her squared away for the ball.

Love this rifle! Sights were right on target out of the box. Shoots great and can't wait to take it moose hunting in the bush! As always Bud's did a great job from the get go.

My husband loves his Socom 16. I was suprised that I enjoyed it and how easy it was on recoil. I recommend this for anyone who may be considering a 308 in any model. My husband said if anyone is trying to choose between an AR 10 or Socom 16....the Socom w

Excellent improvement over the standard M1A1 SOCOM. Pistol Grip and AR type Stock with cheek riser is excellent. The Vortex red dot is nice, small, and lightweight. I gave this rifle a four-star rating because it is difficult to operate in a combat situat

I was very impressed with the rifle and the excellent customer service at Buds. My only complaint is the safety was extremely stiff and yes I know the rifle needs to be cocked to engage the safety.
