Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock

Overview

The Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock represents a modern evolution of the classic M14 platform, engineered for precision, reliability, and adaptability in variable terrain. Chambered in .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO, this rifle combines the proven gas-operated rotating bolt system with a lightweight, durable composite stock finished in a Highlander camouflage pattern. The stock reduces overall weight while maintaining the rigidity required for consistent accuracy, making this model suitable for hunting, long-range target engagement, and field service. As a direct descendant of the military-issue M1A, this firearm retains the robust operating system and user-serviceable design that have defined Springfield Armory’s reputation for over five decades.

Features & Specs

The Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock is built around a forged steel receiver and a 22-inch carbon steel barrel with a 1:11 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing heavy .308 projectiles. The Highlander camo composite stock integrates a glass-reinforced nylon structure with textured gripping surfaces, a raised cheek piece for optics alignment, and integral sling swivel studs. The rifle operates via a rotating bolt system with a two-stage military trigger group, offering a clean break and consistent pull weight. Key specifications include a 4-round detachable box magazine, adjustable rear aperture sight with windage and elevation controls, and a protected front post sight. The barrel is fitted with a standard flash suppressor, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting accessories.

Who It’s For

The Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock is designed for shooters who require a battle-proven action in a lightweight, concealable package for hunting or field use. This model appeals to hunters pursuing medium to large game in woodland or mixed terrain environments where the Highlander camo pattern provides visual disruption. It is equally suited for precision rifle enthusiasts who value the M1A platform’s reliability and parts commonality, as well as competitive shooters entering Service Rifle or tactical matches. The composite stock reduces carry weight without sacrificing structural integrity, making it appropriate for extended backcountry trips or patrol scenarios. Additionally, the rifle’s .308 chambering offers a balance of downrange energy and manageable recoil for experienced shooters transitioning from smaller calibers.
