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

The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB 308 Win with Vortex Venom Red Dot represents a focused evolution of the classic M14 platform, engineered for close-quarters precision and rapid target acquisition. Chambered in .308 Winchester, this rifle combines the proven reliability of the M1A action with a compact 16-inch barrel and a factory-mounted Vortex Venom red dot sight. It is a purpose-built defensive and tactical tool for shooters who demand immediate sight picture and robust stopping power in a maneuverable package.

Overview

Springfield Armory designed the SOCOM 16 CQB to function in tight spaces where a full-length rifle is a liability. The CQB variant integrates a forward-scout rail system, a muzzle brake, and a reduced-length stock to optimize handling. The inclusion of the Vortex Venom red dot sight eliminates the need for aftermarket optic installation, providing a low-profile, battery-powered reflex sight with a 3 MOA dot. This configuration delivers a reliable, ready-to-use system for defensive, competition, or patrol applications.
