Why? M1A is actually an M14 pattern rifle, with M1A being Springfield Armory\u2019s trade name for it. In fact, all the way back in 1974 when Springfield started producing M1As, they did so with surplus M14 receiver blanks.<\/p>\n<p>There are differences. Every M1A part today is made in-house of high-quality steel. But at its heart, an M1A is an M14.<\/p>\n<p>The M14 has the distinction of having the shortest shelf life of any rifle in U.S. military history, at least as a general issue item. I often think of it as Korean War relic, but that isn\u2019t right either. (I may have misspoken that in my video.) The M14 was adopted in 1957 and the last contract was filled in 1964. It was essentially a detachable magazine Garand shortened from 30-&#8217;06 to .308 Winchester. The \u201cmilitary science\u201d of the day concluded that the best indicator of potential enemy killed was the number of rounds fired, and rapidly started switching to smaller bullets. It is also telling that the same tactical geniuses concluded that full-power .308 rounds were hard to control during full auto setting.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-83445 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6703_1024-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6703_1024-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6703_1024-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6703_1024-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6703_1024-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6703_1024.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That whole \u201cmore bullets\u201d concept may have been true among conscripts in Korea and Vietnam, but it doesn\u2019t hold much water today.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Article Continues Below<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2>SPECS<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Type:<\/strong>\u00a0Semiautomatic rifle<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cartridge:\u00a0<\/strong>6.5 Creedmoor<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capacity:\u00a0<\/strong>10; 20; 30 rds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight:\u00a0<\/strong>11.4 lbs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overall Length: <\/strong>45 in.\u2013 46.25 in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Barrel Length: <\/strong>22 in.; 1:8-in. twist<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trigger: <\/strong>4 lbs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Handguard:\u00a0<\/strong>Springfield Armory<\/li>\n<li><strong>MSRP:\u00a0<\/strong>$2,045<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manufacturer:\u00a0<\/strong>Springfield Armory<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-83475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.14.16-PM-2.png\" alt=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" width=\"2242\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.14.16-PM-2.png 2242w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.14.16-PM-2-150x37.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.14.16-PM-2-400x98.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.14.16-PM-2-768x188.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.14.16-PM-2-1024x250.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2242px) 100vw, 2242px\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Modern Day GWOT &amp; The Proper Instruments<\/h2>\n<p>We are fighting a different kind of fight, but I learned something early on in urban combat during the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). The quickest way to stop the incoming fire is to eliminate the threat as quickly as possible. As in, hit what you are aiming at.<\/p>\n<p>I have a personal love for the M14, though it is a lot more nostalgic than practical.<\/p>\n<p>First, the SOCOM 16 came out not long after I was running around the USMC with an M16A2. This shorter rifle that shot 7.62&#215;51 looked to my young eyes like a match made in heaven. It&#8217;s one of the only guns from my days as a \u00a0jarhead that I have never managed to buy. It is my unicorn.<\/p>\n<p>Second, as a USMC Scout Sniper, I am old school enough to have actually been issued an M14. The first version I remember was issued in 2002, designated the DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle). The idea of a semiauto sniper rifle was still novel in the USMC, SR25s had not achieved dominance like they do today. When we went ashore in Iraq not long after, semiauto 7.62 seemed like a very good idea.<\/p>\n<p>So, I have always liked M1A rifles. But at this point in my life, I would be hard pressed to buy anything in .308. That round and I had a lot of good times, but it\u2019s time has passed.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-79374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03-creedmoor-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03-creedmoor-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03-creedmoor-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03-creedmoor-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/03-creedmoor-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-83439\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6697_1024-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6697_1024-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6697_1024-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6697_1024-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6697_1024-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6697_1024.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>The Pros of the 6.5 Creedmoor<\/h2>\n<p>Outside of machine guns, where the jury is still out due to armor piercing needs, the 6.5 Creedmoor will absolutely stomp .308 into the dirt.<\/p>\n<p>It flies better, bucks the wind better, and has less recoil. In match grade commercial rounds, the 6.5 Creedmoor is now cheaper than .308. Imagine my surprise then, to learn Springfield Armory was going to change the M1A! They have adapted better than most of the large-frame AR builders, and I am happy to see it.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/round-future-hornadys-6-5-creedmoor\/\" campaign=\"Creedmoor\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Read About Why the 6.5 Creedmoor is the Round of the Future.<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-83447\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6705_1024-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6705_1024-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6705_1024-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6705_1024-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6705_1024-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6705_1024.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Springfield&#8217;s Step in the Right Direction<\/h2>\n<p>To me, this caliber change opens the M1A up to a generation of shooters that otherwise would have passed it by. And that is a good thing. The M1A is a really cool gun both aesthetically and functionally. Just the way the action works makes shooters feel like John Wayne.<\/p>\n<p>The rifle takes me instantly back to a time when men were men, coffee didn\u2019t include caramel as an option, and PC stood for Philippine Constabulary. \u00a0Think about it from the perspective of a young shooter today. Recommending they get a rifle in .308 is like recommending they should get a pistol in .45 Long Colt. It&#8217;s simply not practical.<\/p>\n<p>The new M1A lets them pick a rifle of heritage, with a common caliber.<\/p>\n<p>The new version of the gun doesn\u2019t feature just a caliber change, but also a furniture upgrade. I like the wooden stock versions, but it does lack some features of a modern rifle. Springfield updated this model\u00a0with a precision adjustable stock. Comb height and stock length are simple to change and rock steady. The grip is closer to a pistol-grip feel, complete with a hidden compartment. The forend features a Picatinny rail, meaning you can use any modern bipod you like.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-83436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6694_1024-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6694_1024-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6694_1024-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6694_1024-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6694_1024-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/thumb_IMG_6694_1024.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-83480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.22.41-PM-400x256.png\" alt=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" width=\"400\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.22.41-PM-400x256.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.22.41-PM-150x96.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.22.41-PM-768x492.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.22.41-PM-1024x656.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.22.41-PM.png 1642w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Range Time<\/h2>\n<p>Our test model was the loaded edition, and I couldn&#8217;t ask for any other features than how Springfield Armory equipped the rifle.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe M1A\u2019s National Match Grade, 22-inch medium weight stainless steel barrel provides a long sight radius with a 4-groove 1:8 right hand twist and shot-steadying muzzle brake for accuracy. \u00a0NM Grade .062 post front sight and non-hooded .0520 aperture rear sight ideal for far targets, adjustable for \u00bd MOA windage and 1 MOA elevation. The 2-stage trigger is NM-tuned to 4.5 \u2013 5 pounds for a crisp pull. A true 1000-yard rifle that delivers a level of shooting satisfaction few rifles can match, especially when paired with an SA scope mount and your optic of choice. Complete with a precision-adjustable stock to dial in fit and feel, and ships with a 10-round magazine.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I asked for and received a scope mount from the factory on mine, which is a must for accuracy testing. The scope mount is built in-house\u00a0and works like a charm. I particularly like that Springfield cuts a deep enough channel to use the iron sights without removing it.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a typical AR-style rifle, where you\u00a0slapdash some folding sights on. They are built into the M1A. The irons work extremely well. At the introduction event for this rifle, I shot a 6-inch plate\u00a0at 100 meters like it was easy, and I don\u2019t shoot irons often.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-83479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.22.58-PM-1024x456.png\" alt=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" width=\"1024\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.22.58-PM-1024x456.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.22.58-PM-150x67.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.22.58-PM-400x178.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.22.58-PM-768x342.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-83478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.23.05-PM-400x278.png\" alt=\"First Look: Springfield M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor \u2014 Full Review\" width=\"400\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.23.05-PM-400x278.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.23.05-PM-150x104.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.23.05-PM-768x533.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.23.05-PM-1024x711.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-12-at-4.23.05-PM.png 1444w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>The new stock combined with a Leupold 20X scope worked miracles.
