Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB 308 Win With Vortex Venom Red Dot

The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB 308 Win with Vortex Venom Red Dot represents a focused evolution of the classic M14 platform, engineered for close-quarters precision and reliability. This factory-combined package pairs Springfield Armory’s proven SOCOM 16 carbine with a Vortex Venom red dot sight, delivering an immediate sighting solution out of the box. Chambered in .308 Winchester, this rifle offers substantial stopping power in a compact, maneuverable form factor.

Overview

This specific configuration of the Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB is designed for operators who require rapid target acquisition in confined spaces. The 16.25-inch barrel reduces overall length while maintaining the ballistic performance of the .308 round. The included Vortex Venom red dot sight features a 3 MOA dot and auto-brightness adjustment, providing a clear, heads-up aiming point. The rifle retains the legendary gas-operated rotating bolt system and forged receiver that define the M1A lineage.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO compatible). The SOCOM 16 CQB delivers the knockdown power of a full-power rifle cartridge in a compact package.
• Barrel: 16.25-inch carbon steel barrel with a 1:11 twist rate, finished in a matte Parkerized coating for corrosion resistance and reduced glare.
• Optic: Vortex Venom red dot sight (3 MOA dot) pre-mounted on a low-profile rail. Features automatic brightness adjustment and a wide field of view for both-eyes-open shooting.
• Stock: Black synthetic stock with an integral cheek rest and rubber buttpad. The stock is designed to reduce overall weight while providing a stable shooting platform.
• Receiver: Forged steel receiver with a Picatinny top rail for optic mounting. The receiver is machined to USGI specifications for compatibility with standard M14 magazines.
• Safety: Traditional M14-style safety lever located forward of the trigger guard, ambidextrous in function.
• Weight: Approximately 9.2 pounds unloaded, balanced for rapid handling.

• The Vortex Venom uses a CR1632 battery and offers up to 30,000 hours of runtime on the lowest setting. The sight is waterproof and shockproof, rated for use on magnum-caliber rifles.
• The rifle includes a proprietary muzzle brake designed to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise during rapid fire. The brake is ported to direct gases upward and to the sides.
• Magazine capacity: The rifle ships with one 10-round magazine. Standard M14 and M1A magazines in 10, 20, or 25 rounds are compatible.

Who It’s For

This package is built for the shooter who demands a reliable, hard-hitting carbine for home defense, patrol, or competition in tactical rifle divisions. The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB 308 Win with Vortex Venom Red Dot is ideal for those who appreciate the mechanical reliability of the M1A action but require a shorter barrel for vehicle or structure entry. It suits the experienced shooter who wants a ready-to-run system without the need to source and mount a separate optic. The .308 cartridge makes it a viable choice for medium-range engagements where terminal performance is critical.

Law enforcement officers, security professionals, and civilian shooters who train regularly will find the SOCOM 16 CQB’s balance of power and portability effective. The included Vortex sight eliminates the delay of iron sight alignment, making this rifle particularly effective for shooters who need to transition between multiple targets at close distances.
