My first response is, вЂњYes, you can absolutely mount a scope on an M1A.вЂќ And my recommendation is always the Springfield Armory scope mounts. I found that the 16.25вЂі barrel sacrificed roughly 150 fps against a 22вЂќ barrel of a standard M1A. How accurate is the M1A Socom?ДЄccuracy was good, with the gun averaging roughly 2 MOA at 100 yards with all loads using the non-magnified MRO.

With a short 16.25вЂќ barrel and collapsible stock, this a gun designed for tactical uses and close-quarters conflicts. The SOCOM 16 CQB is one of the smallest, most compact variants of the Springfield Armory M1A rifle. It will be adequate for CQ Combat (if you put a scout scope with min power of 2x or below), and it will have a good long term reliability. to sum up, a M1A is a good SHTF rifleвЂ¦ itвЂ™s heavy, but it will do great in Long Range Combat and Hunting situations. The current day Springfield Armory does however still make the legendary 1911 pistol and of course the M1A rifle in addition to many more modern offerings.

Dual Performance, which clocked in close to 1.25 MOA group at 100 yards on a very hot day. The most accurate ammunition for the M1A was the 152-gr. Apparently the bullet starts to yaw as it goes subsonic which has a negative effect on accuracy. The bullet IвЂ™m using is the Sierra 168 hpbt MatchKing at 2800 fps muzzle velocity from a Fulton Armory Peerless grade M1A. The M1A does great at the 600 yd range but starts to get somewhat iffy at the 1000 yd range.
