Overview

The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB 308 Win with Vortex Venom Red Dot is a short-stroke gas piston semi-automatic rifle chambered in .308 Winchester / 7.62x51mm NATO. It features a synthetic stock with an integral Picatinny rail system, a flash suppressor designed for reduced muzzle rise, and the factory-installed Vortex Venom 3 MOA red dot optic. This model is specifically configured for the Close Quarters Battle (CQB) role, balancing the power of the .308 cartridge with a maneuverable 35.5-inch overall length. The included Vortex Venom provides a wide field of view and clear dot for fast target engagement at typical defensive and competition distances.
