About this product

<h1>Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB .308 Win with Vortex Venom Red Dot</h1> <p>The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB in .308 Win, paired with a factory-installed Vortex Venom red dot, represents a deliberate evolution of a proven battle platform. This configuration delivers the terminal performance of the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge in a compact, fast-handling package optimized for close-quarters engagement and defensive use. For the shooter who demands reliability, stopping power, and an immediate sight picture, this combination is a direct solution.</p> <h2>Overview</h2> <p>This rifle is the Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB chambered in .308 Winchester, fitted with a Vortex Venom red dot sight from the factory. The SOCOM 16 platform shortens the classic M1A to a 16.25-inch barrel while retaining the gas-operated, rotating bolt system that has defined the M14 lineage for decades. The addition of the Vortex Venom provides a low-profile, parallax-free aiming point that co-witnesses with the standard iron sights. This is not a range toy; it is a purpose-built carbine for serious work at defensive distances.</p> <h2>Features &amp; Specs</h2> <p>The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB .308 Win with Vortex Venom red dot is engineered for specific performance criteria. Every component serves a function, from the reduced-length barrel to the proprietary muzzle brake.</p> <ul> <li>Caliber: .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO compatible). Barrel length is 16.25 inches with a 1:10 twist rate, fitted with a Springfield Armory SOCOM muzzle brake to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise in rapid fire.</li> <li>Optics: Vortex Venom red dot sight (3 MOA dot) mounted on a low-profile base. The sight is parallax-free and features automatic brightness adjustment with manual override, enabling rapid target acquisition with both eyes open.</li> <li>Stock and Controls: Synthetic black stock with a 1-inch buttpad spacer for length-of-pull adjustment. Includes a Picatinny rail on the forend for mounting lights or lasers, and a standard M1A magazine catch and safety.</li> </ul> <p>The gas system remains the same robust, self-regulating design found on full-size M1A rifles. The Vortex Venom is powered by a single CR1632 battery and offers a wide field of view, making it ideal for the CQB role. The rifle ships with one 10-round magazine.</p> <h2>Who It's For</h2> <p>This firearm is intended for the experienced shooter who understands the ballistic advantages of the .308 Win round and requires a rifle that can serve as a primary defensive carbine or a compact patrol rifle. It is for the individual who values the proven reliability of the M1A action but needs a shorter, more maneuverable platform. The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB .308 Win with Vortex Venom red dot is also suitable for hunters operating in thick brush or shooters who want a dedicated home defense rifle that can also reach out to intermediate ranges with authority. If you need a rifle that handles like a carbine but hits like a full-power battle rifle, this is your option.</p> <h2>Shipping &amp; FFL</h2> <p>This firearm is classified as a Title I firearm under the National Firearms Act and ships to your chosen Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer.
