Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock

The Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock represents a direct evolution of the classic battle-proven design, now optimized for modern field conditions. Chambered in .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO, this semi-automatic rifle combines the mechanical reliability of the M14 platform with a lightweight, weather-resistant composite stock finished in a disruptive Highlander camo pattern. For shooters requiring a durable, accurate long-range rifle that performs in varied terrain, this configuration balances traditional steel construction with modern materials.

Overview

Springfield Armory’s M1A Standard model has long been the benchmark for civilian-legal .308 semi-automatic rifles. The Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock replaces the standard walnut or synthetic stock with a reinforced composite unit that reduces overall weight by approximately 1.2 pounds compared to wood stocks while providing superior resistance to moisture, temperature shifts, and impact. The Highlander camo pattern—featuring layered green, tan, and brown tones—offers effective concealment in woodland, scrub, and transitional environments. This rifle maintains the original forged steel receiver, chrome-lined bore, and adjustable gas system that define the M1A lineage, ensuring consistent cycling across a wide range of .308 ammunition.

Features & Specs

• Action and Caliber: Semi-automatic, gas-operated action chambered in .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO. The chrome-lined barrel (22-inch length, 1:11 twist rate) delivers reliable extraction and corrosion resistance through sustained firing strings.
• Stock and Ergonomics: Highlander camo composite stock with reinforced bedding surfaces, integrated sling swivel studs, and a raised cheek piece for optic alignment. The stock reduces felt recoil through its internal dampening geometry while maintaining the standard M1A length of pull (13 inches).
• Sights and Optics Mounting: Military-style aperture rear sight (adjustable for windage and elevation) with a wing-guarded front post. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard M1A scope mounts, allowing direct attachment of optics without aftermarket modification.
• Safety and Controls: Two-position thumb safety located at the front of the trigger guard. The magazine release and bolt catch follow standard M14 layout, compatible with all GI-spec and aftermarket M1A magazines.
• Weight and Dimensions: 9.3 pounds (unloaded) with an overall length of 44.5 inches. The composite stock contributes to a balanced feel that reduces muzzle rise during rapid follow-up shots.

Who It’s For

This Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock is suited for three primary user groups: hunters operating in variable cover who need a flat-shooting .308 that withstands rain and brush contact; competitive shooters in Service Rifle or tactical matches requiring a production-class M1A pattern rifle; and collectors seeking a modernized version of the M14 platform without sacrificing authenticity. The Highlander camo finish is particularly effective for deer, hog, and predator hunters who transition between open fields and timber. The composite stock’s sling studs facilitate bipod or shooting sling attachment for precision shooting positions. Users who prefer iron sights will appreciate the factory-installed aperture system, while those mounting scopes benefit from the pre-drilled receiver that accommodates one-piece or two-piece base configurations.
