Springfield M1A National Match 308 with Stainless Steel Barrel

The Springfield M1A National Match 308 with Stainless Steel Barrel stands as a precision-engineered semi-automatic rifle built for accuracy and reliability. Chambered in .308 Winchester, this model combines the proven M14 platform with match-grade components, delivering consistent performance for serious shooters. As a direct descendant of the legendary service rifle, the National Match variant is designed for competitive shooting and high-accuracy applications where every shot counts.

Overview

Springfield Armory produces the M1A National Match as a factory-built precision rifle, not a custom shop afterthought. The stainless steel barrel is a defining feature, providing corrosion resistance and thermal stability during extended strings of fire. This rifle is assembled with a medium-weight, 22-inch barrel, a National Match front sight with a .062-inch blade, and a hooded aperture rear sight with 1/2-minute windage and elevation adjustments. The two-stage National Match trigger breaks cleanly at approximately 4.5 to 5 pounds, reducing shooter-induced error. The stock is a standard walnut composite with a steel buttplate and a glass-bedded action for consistent harmonics. This is a production rifle that meets NRA High Power match specifications out of the box.

Features & Specs

• Barrel: 22-inch stainless steel, medium weight, with a 1:11 twist rate, optimized for match-grade .308 ammunition. The stainless steel construction resists fouling and simplifies cleaning.

Who It’s For

This rifle is intended for the experienced shooter who demands mechanical precision without the wait or cost of a custom build. It is a direct choice for NRA High Power Service Rifle competition, where the M1A platform remains dominant. It also suits precision target shooters, long-range enthusiasts, and collectors who value the historical lineage of the M14 combined with modern stainless steel reliability. The Springfield M1A National Match 308 with Stainless Steel Barrel is not a general-purpose hunting rifle; it is a purpose-built competition and target firearm for those who shoot weekly and expect sub-minute-of-angle accuracy.
