There is something about a walnut-stocked M1A that just feels right the second you shoulder it. The Scout Squad takes everything people love about Springfield Armory's M14-inspired platform and trims the 6-groove carbon steel barrel back to 18 inches, giving you a .308 that swings faster in the brush, rides easier in the truck, and still reaches out with authority. The 1:11 twist stabilizes the full range of common .308 Winchester and 7.62 NATO loads, and Springfield tops the muzzle with a purpose-built brake that takes real bite out of the recoil impulse.
The scout concept is all about speed, and this rifle delivers it. A forward-mounted Picatinny base sits ahead of the action, made for extended eye relief scopes and red dots that keep both eyes open and the receiver clear for loading and maintenance. If glass is not your thing, the irons are excellent on their own: a National Match .062 inch front blade paired with a military-style .0690 aperture rear that adjusts for windage and elevation. The two-stage trigger breaks clean around five pounds, which is genuinely good for a rifle built on a military pattern.
Parkerized steel over stained American walnut is a combination that never goes out of style, and it also happens to hold up to real field use. At 40.33 inches overall and a shade over nine pounds, the Scout Squad carries the heft that makes .308 pleasant to run through a semi-auto, without the length of a full-size M1A getting hung up on everything.
Springfield ships this one with a single 10-round magazine, and the platform's appetite for standard M1A mags means spares are easy to come by. Whether you want a woods rifle for deer season, a ranch gun that lives behind the seat, or just a piece of American rifle history you can shoot every weekend, the Scout Squad covers all three without breaking a sweat.
The included forward Picatinny base is designed for extended eye relief scout scopes and red dots, not traditional riflescopes. If you want a conventional scope over the receiver, you will need an aftermarket M1A receiver mount, which is a common and well-supported upgrade. Many owners run a red dot on the scout rail and keep the excellent iron sights as backup.
Yes, the M1A Scout Squad is chambered for .308 Win and runs 7.62x51mm NATO as well. The 1:11 twist 18-inch barrel handles the common bullet weights in both loadings without any trouble. As with any gas-operated .308, stick to standard pressure ammo in typical bullet weights and it will run happily for years.
Very manageable. Springfield fits the Scout Squad with a proprietary muzzle brake that noticeably softens the push, and at over nine pounds the rifle soaks up a lot of the .308's energy on its own. Most people find it more comfortable to shoot all day than lighter bolt guns in the same caliber.
They will. The Scout Squad uses the same magazines as the rest of Springfield's M1A line, so factory 10 and 20-round mags drop right in. It ships with one 10-round magazine, and spares are widely available from Springfield and quality aftermarket makers.
