Overview

The Springfield M1A National Match 308 with Stainless Steel Barrel is purpose-built for accuracy. This rifle departs from standard M1A models through a series of precision enhancements. The heavy, hand-fitted stainless steel barrel is free-floated within the stock, eliminating pressure points that can degrade accuracy. A National Match front sight and hood, paired with a fully adjustable rear aperture sight, provide a crisp, repeatable sight picture. The two-stage National Match trigger is tuned for a clean break, reducing shooter error. This is not a general-purpose rifle; it is a precision instrument designed to produce tight groups at extended ranges.
