Springfield M1A Scout Squad Semi-Automatic Rifle .308 Winchester 18" Barrel (1)-10Rd Magazine GB Black Speckled Synthetic Stock Black Finish
Springfield's M1A series of rifles, a semi-automatic rifle inspired by the classic U.S. Military M14, offers shooters a chance to own an icon. The M1A Scout Squad combines the legendary power and reliability of the M1A with the quick handling and fast sight acquisition of a scout-style rifle. This means your rugged outdoors life just got a whole lot better. From the two-stage military trigger to the aperture-style rear sight, the Scout Squad takes the M1A design and adds a forward mount scope for the added versatility of extended eye relief optics. Its barrel is shortened to 18", so its short, handy dimensions will never get in the way of your big plans.

Caliber Dictionary

The 308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO) was introduced by in 1952. Based on the T65 experimental military cartridge, Winchester essentially jumped the gun with the civilian introduction; the 7.62x51 wasn't officially adopted (or named) until 1954. The military's intent was to create a shorter cartridge that would fit into a lighter version of the M1 Garand. This was successful beyond their wildest dreams: The 308 Winchester is essentially a 30-06 case greatly shortened to 2.015-inch, but it lags only about 100 feet per second behind the 30-06 in velocity, and with it shorter, more efficient case it tends to be more accurate. The 308 is suitable for any hunting for which the 30-06 is suitable--which means almost anything in the world short of large, dangerous game. The 308 is a standard chambering among most manufacturers and is found in all action types. Factory loads are legion, including a wide selection of very accurate match loads. — Craig Boddington
