Key Features

• 22″ Medium-Weight National Match Barrel – Why it matters: The heavier profile reduces barrel whip and heat shift, keeping shots tight even during long strings at the range.
• Two-Stage National Match Trigger – Why it matters: A crisp, predictable break helps you break clean shots without pull-through fliers, especially when you’re dialing in groups.
• Adjustable Match-Grade Sights – Why it matters: Windage and elevation adjustments let you zero for different distances fast, so you can switch from 100 to 300 yards without guesswork.
• Walnut Fixed Stock – Why it matters: The classic wood gives you a solid cheek weld and absorbs recoil naturally, keeping you on target for follow-ups.
• NY-Compliant Configuration – Why it matters: Built to meet New York regulations, so you don’t have to hunt down a separate compliant version or modify it yourself.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for recreational shooters who want to push .308 out to medium ranges with consistent accuracy. First-time buyers stepping up from an AR-15 will appreciate the familiar manual of arms and the match-grade components that make hitting steel at 500 yards feel repeatable. If you shoot in local high-power matches or just like ringing steel on weekends, the M1A Loaded fits right in.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: National Match barrel and trigger give you competition-ready accuracy out of the box.
• Pro: Walnut stock looks classic and handles well, even with heavy .308 ammo.
• Pro: NY-compliant means no extra work for shooters in restricted states.
• Con: At 9.3 lbs, it’s heavier than some modern .308 ARs, so it’s less ideal for long hikes or offhand drills.
