Overview

Springfield Armory has been building the M1A for decades, and the Standard model remains the baseline for a reason. The Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock combines the steel receiver and barrel assembly you trust with a modern composite stock that features a durable Highlander camo pattern. This stock reduces overall weight compared to traditional walnut, and the textured grip surfaces help you maintain control in wet conditions. The 22-inch barrel offers a balance of velocity and handling, while the 4.5-pound trigger pull breaks clean. For Illinois shooters who need a versatile .308 that can serve as a hunting rifle or a range companion, this is a straightforward choice.

Features & Specs

The Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock is designed around a forged steel receiver and a chrome-lined bore. The composite stock includes a ventilated handguard that helps dissipate heat during extended strings of fire. The rifle ships with one 10-round magazine, which is compliant with Illinois state regulations for standard capacity. Below are the key features you can expect:

• Forged and machined 4140 steel receiver with integral dovetails for scope mounting
• 22-inch carbon steel barrel with a 1:11 twist rate, chrome-lined for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning
• Highlander camo composite stock with a black buttplate and a textured pistol grip area
• Adjustable rear aperture sight and a military-style front blade sight for quick target acquisition
• Overall length of 44.33 inches and a weight of approximately 8.8 pounds, unloaded

This rifle uses the standard M1A operating system with a four-position gas regulator, allowing you to tune the action for different ammunition loads or suppressor use. The Highlander camo pattern features a mix of brown, green, and tan tones that work well in the varied terrain of Illinois from the Shawnee National Forest to the northern farmlands.

Who It’s For

The Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock is for the shooter who wants a reliable semi-automatic .308 without unnecessary bulk. If you hunt deer or coyote in the central or southern parts of the state and need a rifle that can take a bump on a tree stand or a muddy truck bed, this stock handles the abuse. It also suits the target shooter who appreciates the iron sights and the proven action of the M14 lineage. Law enforcement or security personnel in Illinois who require a duty-grade rifle with a classic manual of arms will find the M1A familiar and easy to maintain. This is not a precision benchrest gun, but it delivers consistent combat accuracy at typical hunting and range distances.
