Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match 308 with Douglas Barrel

The Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match 308 with Douglas Barrel represents the culmination of precision engineering applied to the classic M14 pattern platform. Chambered in .308 Winchester, this rifle is designed for shooters who demand sub-minute-of-angle accuracy at extended distances. Built by Springfield Armory, this model leverages a match-grade Douglas barrel and a tuned gas system to deliver consistent, repeatable performance at the range or in competition.

Overview

The Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match 308 with Douglas Barrel is a semi-automatic rifle that combines the proven reliability of the M1A action with a heavy-contour, hand-lapped Douglas barrel. The barrel is free-floated within the full-length aluminum bedding block, reducing harmonic interference and improving shot-to-shot consistency. The rifle features a National Match front sight and a hooded aperture rear sight, providing a precise sight picture for long-range engagement. The M21 Long Range Match also includes a scope mount, allowing for the addition of modern optics while maintaining the classic M1A ergonomics.
