Springfield M1A

Anyone have any experience with the Springfield M1A by chance? Specifically the cqb variant. Just trying to get some opinion as I’m heavily considering one. Thanks!

I have a full size and really like it. I am also thinking of the shorter models.

Nice! I’ve heard some issues with shot groupings and what not, has this been an issue for you?

I have a Socom. It’s a lot of fun. If you want something that can reach out accurately past 200 yards though I’d suggest the scout or above.

Ditto! The scout is the absolute shortest that I would go. Don't let nostalgia get in the way of function. It has an incredible history, and I love mine, but it is certainly not a CQB tool. Reliable/ consistent optic mounting is next to impossible, leaving it wanting at any appreciable range. CQB is out of the question unless you were going to suppress it. In a life safety situation I don't wish to be deaf; I need my 5 senses. I collect them out of nostalgia and appreciation, but there are infinitely better platforms out there now. If you are looking for a single multi-purpose gun, the SCAR and Stoner surpass it.
