Who It Is For

This rifle is built for the shooter who appreciates the history of the M1A but needs the flexibility of a modern rail system. It is an excellent choice for law enforcement or security professionals who require a dependable .308 carbine that can mount a red dot or low-power variable optic without losing the iron sight co-witness. It also appeals to the civilian shooter who wants a rugged, accurate rifle for hog hunting, three-gun competition in the heavy metal division, or simply as a robust defensive tool. If you value the reliability of the Springfield M1A platform but want the ability to customize your setup with lights, lasers, or a bipod, the Socom II with the extended cluster rail system gives you that capability right out of the box.

• Ideal for professionals needing a compact .308 with accessory mounting options.
