SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M1A Scout Squad | .308 | 18in | AA9122

The Springfield Armory M1A Scout Squad is a semi-automatic sporting rifle chambered for 7.62x51mm (.308) that pairs a shortened 18in barrel with a walnut fixed stock and forward scout-style scope mount for faster acquisition. It ships with one 10-round parkerized steel magazine and features a two-stage National Match trigger and adjustable aperture rear sight. For a quality optic under $1000 that complements the Scout Squad’s forward-mount and medium-range capability, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 scope for a balance of eye relief, durability, and budget-conscious performance.

Suggested applications: medium-range target shooting and field/hunting use where a compact, powerful platform and quick sight acquisition are priorities.
