Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock

The Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock represents a refined evolution of the legendary M14 platform, optimized for modern shooters who demand durability, accuracy, and concealment in variable terrain. Chambered in the ubiquitous .308 Winchester / 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge, this semi-automatic rifle combines battle-proven gas-operated action with a lightweight composite stock finished in the disruptive Highlander camo pattern. Each rifle is manufactured in Geneseo, Illinois, by Springfield Armory, adhering to mil-spec tolerances and using forged steel components throughout the receiver and barrel assembly.

Overview

This iteration of the Springfield M1A Standard 308 features a 22-inch carbon steel barrel with a 1:11 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing a wide range of bullet weights from 147-grain ball to 175-grain match loads. The Highlander Camo Composite Stock replaces the traditional walnut or synthetic black stock, offering a weight reduction of approximately 0.5 pounds while providing a textured grip surface and sling-swivel studs. The stock’s multi-tone camo pattern—blending earth tones with muted green and tan—reduves visual signature in forested, brush, and transitional environments. The rifle ships with one 10-round magazine, a Picatinny rail interface for optics mounting, and a proprietary muzzle brake that mitigates recoil without excessive blast.

This rifle also appeals to competitive shooters participating in service rifle matches or tactical precision competitions that allow M1A-platform rifles.
