Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB .308 Win with Vortex Venom Red Dot

The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB .308 Win with Vortex Venom Red Dot represents a significant evolution in the classic M1A platform. This configuration combines the legendary reliability of the M14-derived action with modern close-quarters battle ergonomics and a precision red optic system. Designed for rapid target acquisition and heavy-caliber performance in a compact package, this rifle is a purpose-built tool for tactical shooters and serious enthusiasts who demand a short-barreled battle rifle without sacrificing range or stopping power.

Overview

This factory-assembled package pairs the Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16 CQB with a Vortex Venom red dot sight, factory-mounted and co-witnessed. The SOCOM 16 CQB features a 16.25-inch barrel, a full-length Picatinny rail on the forend, and a proprietary muzzle brake designed to reduce muzzle rise and felt recoil. Chambered in .308 Win (7.62x51mm NATO), it delivers the terminal ballistics of a full-power cartridge in a carbine-length firearm. The integrated Vortex Venom provides a 3 MOA dot for fast, both-eyes-open shooting, making this an ideal choice for dynamic environments.

Features & Specs

• Action and Barrel: Gas-operated, semiautomatic action with a 16.25-inch carbon steel barrel. The barrel is finished in a military-spec parkerized coating and features a 1:11 twist rate to stabilize a wide range of .308 Win projectiles.
• Optic System: Includes a Vortex Venom red dot sight (3 MOA dot) mounted on a low-profile Picatinny base. The sight is fully multi-coated for light transmission and features automatic brightness adjustment with manual override. The factory mount allows for absolute co-witness with the included rear ghost ring and front blade sights.
• Stock and Ergonomics: Synthetic black stock with a length of pull of 13 inches. The forend incorporates a full-length Picatinny rail for mounting lights, lasers, or vertical grips. The CQB configuration includes an enlarged trigger guard for use with gloves and a low-profile operating rod.
• Muzzle and Recoil Management: Proprietary SOCOM muzzle brake designed to redirect gas and reduce muzzle climb. The brake is pinned and welded to the barrel to meet legal overall length requirements. The rifle weighs approximately 9.3 pounds unloaded.

Who It’s For

The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB .308 Win with Vortex Venom Red Dot is built for shooters who need a compact, high-power rifle for defensive or tactical use. It is suited for law enforcement, security professionals, and civilian shooters who operate in confined spaces or require a fast-handling battle rifle. The .308 Win cartridge provides substantial barrier penetration and downrange energy, making it appropriate for medium-range engagements out to 300 meters. This package is also a strong choice for collectors and competitors who appreciate the M1A lineage but require modern mounting solutions and a low-profile optic.
