I have NEVER experienced this kind of trouble in all my years.
Changed scope out for a sig romeo red dot which I’m trying out today.Ĭan someone PLEASE tell me what I’m doing wrong. Put a scout scope on, still same results. I found after tinkering with the SOCOM my rear sight was jacked. I bought the federal ammo specifically for M1A and i can group to save my life. I have tried every manufactured ammo and as well some hand loads I played with. For my ArmaLite I have been using manufactured Federal Premium ammo which uses the same Berger and the weapon systems all love it.Ģ weeks ago I bought my SOCOM. My 700 bolt rifles I load using 168gr Berger boat tail VLD round with Retumbo powder. I dont have time to load so I’m selective on the weapons I do load for. Since getting out I built an AmarLite variant of the Knight. When I was in I used the M 110 SASS by Knights Armament. So I have always dreamed of getting a SOCOM 16 ever since my kid joined the marines and fell in love with the Springfield scout. Tell us what you think about the SOCOM 16 in the comment section. 135 with MOA Adjustment For Both Windage and Elevation 125-inch Bladetype Rear: Enlarged Military Aperture. Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16ġ6.25 inches 1:11 RH twist 6-Groove Carbon Steelįront: XS Post with Tritium Insert. Prefer an optic? No worries, Springfield Armory decks out the SOCOM 16 with its forward scout-style Picatinny mount. Sighting is a breeze thanks to the SOCOM 16’s enlarged ghost ring aperture rear sight and XS Tritium Insert in the front sight. The muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and keeps muzzle rise flat making quick, accurate follow-up shots all but a given. Today, the heart of Springfield Armory’s SOCOM 16 is a specially engineered, 16-inch barrel mated to the gas system with a proprietary muzzle brake. Best of all, the M1A SOCOM 16 offered less felt recoil and muzzle rise than anyone believed was possible in a rifle of its size and caliber. Rather than option for a smaller caliber, shooters had the option of 7.62 NATO (.308 Win.).
Springfield Armory changed the shooting community’s perception of high power in a small package with the introduction of the M1A SOCOM 16 in the mid 2000s.
