Springfield Armory M1A Scout Squad AA9126 | .308 Win | 18″

The Springfield Armory M1A Scout Squad (MFG# AA9126) is a compact, semi-automatic rifle built on the M1A platform with an 18-inch carbon steel barrel and a forward-scoped, scout-style layout. It pairs rapid sight acquisition from an enlarged aperture rear and a forward optic mount with the durability of a fixed black synthetic stock. For a practical optic under $1,000 that suits the forward mount and scout configuration, consider a 1-6x or 1-8x low-power variable such as the Vortex Viper PST 1-6×24 (widely used under $1,000) for versatile close-to-mid-range use.

Applications: hunting and ranch/field use are well suited to the Scout Squad’s combination of power and shorter overall length.
