Our Assessment: This Springfield M1A Loaded SS in .308 with its 22? stainless barrel was built in 2014. Set into an Archangel chassis, the rifle gains QD sling cups, a Picatinny rail, a sculpted pistol grip, and an adjustable cheek riser and length-of-pull that let the shooter dial in a perfect fit and comfortable trigger reach. The stainless barrel provides longevity and thermal stability for extended strings, while the Archangel’s chassis dramatically improves the interface between shooter and rifle so groups close up and follow-ups track cleanly. A bipod can be mounted to the forend rail for rock-steady supported fire, making this M1A equally at home in precision work or heavy-duty range sessions.
Topped with a Springfield scope mount carrying a Diamondback Tactical 6–24×50, the package becomes a true precision performer: the scope’s ¼-MOA turrets and side-mounted parallax let you make exacting corrections at distance, and the first-focal-plane stadia reticle keeps subtensions useful across the zoom range for rapid holds and ranging. Between the Loaded action’s reliable feeding and the Archangel’s shooter-first adjustability, this rifle shoots like a purpose-built tool that is refined, stable, and eminently adjustable, while the stainless finish and tactical furniture give it sleek fieldworthy presence. In short, this 2014 M1A Loaded SS is a compelling blend of a classic platform and contemporary chassis for a tough, accurate rifle that points well, shoots well, and feels built to perform.
