Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB 308 Win with Vortex Venom Red Dot

For the Alabama shooter who demands compact stopping power with proven battle heritage, the Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB in 308 Win with a factory-matched Vortex Venom red dot delivers a system that is as reliable as it is maneuverable. This is not a range toy; it is a purpose-built close-quarters battle rifle that retains the legendary M14 action in a chassis designed for fast, accurate engagement from truck to treeline. Whether you are defending your property in rural Jefferson County or running drills at a private range in Mobile, this package puts a premium red dot on an American classic without the hassle of aftermarket guesswork.

Overview

The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB 308 Win with Vortex Venom red dot represents a deliberate evolution of the M1A platform. Springfield Armory took the proven 16.25-inch barrel and forward-scout rail system of the SOCOM 16 and integrated it with a Vortex Venom red dot sight pre-mounted on a low-profile mount. The result is a lightweight, 308-caliber carbine that balances the hard-hitting ballistics of the 7.62 NATO cartridge with the rapid target acquisition of a modern reflex sight. This rifle ships as a complete system, zeroed and ready for action, with no additional mounting hardware required.

Features & Specs

This Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB 308 Win with Vortex Venom red dot is built around the forged receiver and operating rod system that has defined the M1A lineage for decades. The 16.25-inch carbon steel barrel is paired with a muzzle brake to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for faster follow-up shots in CQB scenarios. The Vortex Venom red dot offers a 3 MOA dot with unlimited eye relief and automatic brightness adjustment, making it effective in both low-light conditions and bright Alabama sun.

• Caliber: 308 Win / 7.62 NATO; magazine capacity: 10-round steel magazine included
• Barrel length: 16.25 inches with integral muzzle brake; overall length: 37.25 inches
• Weight: 8.8 pounds unloaded; includes Vortex Venom red dot with Weaver-style mount
• Synthetic stock with integral Picatinny rail at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions for lights and lasers
• Two-stage military trigger; forged receiver with integral dovetail for scope mounting

The Vortex Venom is nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed for fog-proof performance, and its low-profile design keeps the sight deck clear for iron-sight co-witnessing through the included standard M1A aperture. The forward-scout rail system allows for mounting of a forward optic or backup iron sights without interfering with the operating rod.

Who It’s For

This Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB 308 Win with Vortex Venom red dot is designed for the Alabama shooter who needs a 308 rifle that handles like a carbine. It is ideal for property defense in rural environments where threats may appear at varied distances, for law enforcement officers running patrol rifles, and for civilian shooters who value the M1A’s reliability in harsh conditions. If you are a hunter who needs a fast-handling rifle for thick cover or a competitor in tactical rifle matches, this package gives you a red dot that keeps both eyes open for situational awareness.

• Property defense in wooded or open terrain where 308 Winchester terminal performance is required
• Patrol or security professionals who need a compact, hard-hitting rifle with a red dot
• Shooters who want a factory-integrated optic system without aftermarket modification

This is not a precision benchrest rifle. It is a fighting carbine optimized for speed and reliability inside 300 yards, where the Vortex Venom red dot excels.
