I just don’t see how this bastardized plastic version of a great battle rifle is anybody’s “perfect CQB in. I have not had to fire on a fellow human thankfully but I have no doubts it will do the trick if ever called upon. I’ve cleared buildings with it just as easily as my partners with their AR-15s. I highly doubt either deer would have done the same with the Russian round and they sure didn’t care the barrel was a couple inches shorter. One ran 20 yards after being hit and the 8 pointer dropped where he stood. I took two white tails with my Ruger this year. 308 is no better than a 7.62×39 in a 16″ barrel. The stock on this gun looks far too gimmicky for my tastes. The Springfield guns should be using a forged receiver IMHO. That’s honestly a bigger group than I’d expect out of a. The author talks about 1″ groups at 100 yards if he “does his part”. I own a Ruger SR-762 that will do everything this rifle will do and cost less while doing it. The mass of the rifle did become noticeable after slinging the rifle for longer stretches - dead weight is dead weight - it’s up to you to decide if the extra weight is worth it for the larger caliber. As short as the rifle is, it transitioned quickly between targets as well. It rapidly recovered from shot to shot and it was easy to shoot with precision even with fast follow-up shots. To my delight, the M1A SOCOM 16 CQB handled more like an AR-15 than a. I was interested in seeing how this gun would transition from target to target at close range. While the rifle was more accurate with lighter ammunition, it was 100 percent reliable with every brand and type of ammunition I tested.įor the last test I set up three targets various ranges up close for some fast shooting, putting multiple rounds down on each target. Shooting from a bench using a Caldwell Lead Sled, consistent 1-inch groups were possible if I did my part. After extensive testing, I found that the Black Hills 168-grain match ammunition delivered the best groups, hands down. The stock is also fit with a soft buttpad, which makes an already soft-shooting gun even easier to shoot, facilitating rapid strings of fire.Īll this in a zippered nylon case for storage and transportation.Īccuracy was exceptional with both the iron sights and the scout scope.Īt 100 yards, I got to work trying to find out what ammunition produced the best accuracy with this rifle. The ability to add accessories like a white light or laser is now a must on close-quarters long guns, and the M1A SOCOM CQB accommodates this need admirably. The traditional stock has been updated with a new Archangel pistol grip composite stock featuring a 5-position buttstock and adjustable cheek riser that can be fit to any shooter and collapsed for storage. But wait, there’s more! They have added an M-Lok rail system to the stock that comes with two three-slot Picatinny rails installed on the right and left sides of the forend and a 7-slot rail fixed to the bottom. It also comes with an XS Systems tritium front post night sight and a rear ghost ring aperture sight. Based on the M1A SOCOM 16 with a 16-inch barrel, the rifle is equipped with the legendary muzzle brake and gas system that makes the M1A so reliable and it has the SOCOM’s forward scope rail.
This gun has promise right from the start. The new gun comes in a nice zippered bag.
