Springfield M1A National Match 308 With Stainless Steel Barrel

When you pick up the Springfield M1A National Match 308 with Stainless Steel Barrel, you’re holding a rifle that bridges the gap between classic battle-proven design and modern precision. This isn’t a safe queen or a range toy—it’s a serious tool for shooters who demand accuracy without sacrificing the rugged reliability that made the M1A platform legendary. Whether you’re punching paper at 600 yards or competing in high-power matches, this National Match variant brings factory-tuned performance straight out of the case.

Overview

The Springfield M1A National Match 308 with Stainless Steel Barrel is built on the same gas-operated, rotating bolt system that has served military and civilian marksmen for decades. Springfield Armory takes that foundation and adds match-grade components: a precisely machined stainless steel barrel, a National Match front sight with a .062-inch blade, and a hooded aperture rear sight with 1/2-minute click adjustments. The trigger assembly is tuned to a crisp 4.5- to 5-pound pull with minimal creep, and the glass-bedded stock ensures consistent action-to-stock fit. Chambered in .308 Winchester, this rifle delivers the ballistics and downrange energy that long-range shooters rely on.

Features & Specs

Every component of the Springfield M1A National Match 308 with Stainless Steel Barrel is selected for accuracy and durability. Here’s what sets it apart from standard M1A models:

• Stainless steel barrel: 22 inches, medium weight, with a 1:11-inch twist rate—optimized for 168- to 175-grain match ammunition.
• National Match trigger group: Two-stage design with a smooth take-up and a clean break, adjustable for over-travel.
• Glass-bedded walnut stock: Hand-fitted to the action, reducing harmonic inconsistencies and improving shot-to-shot precision.

Additional specs include an overall length of 44.3 inches, an unloaded weight of approximately 9.3 pounds, and a four-round detachable box magazine (with standard 10-round and 20-round options available separately). The stainless steel barrel offers excellent corrosion resistance, making this rifle a practical choice for humid environments or extended field use.

Who It’s For

The Springfield M1A National Match 308 with Stainless Steel Barrel is designed for the shooter who wants competition-level accuracy in a semi-automatic platform. If you shoot in NRA High Power or CMP service rifle matches, this rifle meets the rules while giving you an edge with its match barrel and tuned trigger. It’s also a strong choice for the precision shooter who values the M1A’s fast follow-up shots and reliable cycling over a bolt gun. Hunters who work open country—think bean fields, powerline cuts, or western prairies—will appreciate the .308’s reach and the stainless barrel’s weather resistance. This isn’t a plinker or a casual range rifle; it’s for the shooter who logs rounds, dials windage, and keeps a data book.

• Competition shooters needing a match-ready semi-auto out of the box.
• Long-range enthusiasts who want the M1A platform with factory accuracy upgrades.
• Collectors and shooters who value American-made quality with proven pedigree.
