When you think M1A, what comes to mind?
For me it was theworld famous M1 Garandused by the U.S. military during World War II.
What firearms cabinet wouldnt be complete without one of those in it?
Going the Distance
Lets talk about theSpringfield Armory M1A Loaded Precision that was reviewedatThe Armory Life.
The stock also has an adjustable cheek comb and recoil pad.
This stock enhances the capabilities of an already impressive rifle.
It truly takes the performance capabilities of the rifle to the next level.
This M1A Loaded Precision is a.308 chamberedrifle with a medium-weight 22 premium National Match air-gauged barrel.
National Match means match-grade, meaning a tighter tolerance demanded between bullet and barrel.
This probe has sensors on either end that measure the amount of air that passes by them.
The less air that passes by the probe means tighter tolerances.
Tighter tolerances along the entire barrel equals higher accuracy.
Topping this barrel off is a classic long-slotted flash suppressor, giving this rifle that traditional look.
Having a barrel designed around accuracy means you dont want anything interfering with that.
For this reason, Springfield installed a two-stage precision-tuned National Match trigger in the Loaded Precision M1A.
A two-stage trigger has one stage that lets you take up all the creep before the break.
The two-stage precision-tuned National Match trigger breaks predictably at between 4.5 and 5 lbs.
Everything is made to fit, just as a glove is to a hand.
The National Match front sight is a crisp 0.062 blade.
The rear Match-Grade sight features a small non-hooded 0.0520 aperture.
The windage adjustments are in 12 M.O.A.
increments, while the elevation adjustments are in 1 M.O.A increments.
Let me take a second to explain just how easy these match grade sights are to sight in.
One punch each adjustment andwow, Ive never gotten that lucky before.
The next 17 rounds gave me a nice 3 grouping at 250 yards.
Adding a scope to your M1A Loaded precision rifleis easy.
Mounting this rail is easy using the provided hardware.
The Springfield M1A Loaded Precision .308 Rifles price tag comes in at of just over $2,000 MSRP.
Personally, I see this price tag as well worth the money.
This is a small price to pay considering everything you get with this rifle.
