This is not a safe queen. It is a working rifle, built for close quarters and hard use, chambered in the versatile .308 Winchester. We have paired this already formidable platform with the Vortex Venom red dot, creating a ready-to-run setup that eliminates the guesswork of optic selection. Whether you are looking to upgrade your patrol rifle or simply want a rugged, accurate carbine, this combination delivers on every front.

Overview

The Springfield M1A Socom 16 CQB is a shortened, maneuverable version of the classic M1A platform. It retains the legendary reliability of the M14 action but shrinks it down to a 16.25-inch barrel, making it ideal for tight spaces and fast target acquisition. The included Vortex Venom red dot provides a crisp, unlimited eye relief sight picture, allowing you to keep both eyes open and stay aware of your surroundings. This is a purpose-built rifle for the shooter who demands the stopping power of .308 in a package that handles like a carbine.

Features & Specs

This rifle is built around the proven gas-operated rotating bolt system, known for its ability to run dirty and keep cycling under adverse conditions. The CQB model features a full-length Picatinny rail on the top of the receiver and a proprietary SOCOM profile barrel with a flash suppressor. The Vortex Venom is mounted directly to the receiver rail, sitting low and tight to the bore axis for a natural point of aim.
