Our Assessment: The Springfield Armory M1A Scout Squad with a walnut stock is a modern, compact take on the classic M14 battle rifle, blending heritage and practicality. Chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Win), it features an 18″ barrel, which shortens the overall profile compared to the standard model while preserving ballistic performance. It retains a forward-mounted optic rail for scout-style scope placement, allowing for both rapid target acquisition and use of backup iron sights.
The walnut stock version offers a traditional and timeless aesthetic that pays tribute to the rifle’s military roots. The stock is well-balanced and solid, giving the rifle a reassuring heft and classic feel that appeals to both collectors and shooters alike. With its rugged action, excellent iron sights, and versatile design, the Scout Squad serves well in a variety of roles, from range rifle to field-ready general-purpose rifle, while honoring the legacy of the M14 platform in a modernized and compact package.
