Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match .308 with Douglas Barrel

There are few rifles that carry the lineage and proven accuracy of the Springfield Armory M1A platform. This particular variant, the M21 Long Range Match chambered in .308 Winchester, takes that heritage and refines it with a premium Douglas barrel. It is a rifle built for the shooter who demands consistency at distance, whether on the steel range or in a precision competition. From the moment you lift it from the case, you can feel the difference in balance and build quality that comes from a hand-selected barrel and a meticulously assembled action.

Overview

The Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match .308 with Douglas barrel is a semi-automatic precision rifle that bridges the gap between a robust battle rifle and a dedicated long-range tool. The M21 designation itself harkens back to the U.S. Army’s sniper variant of the M14, and Springfield Armory has honored that legacy by equipping this rifle with a heavy, air-gauged Douglas barrel. This barrel is the heart of the system, providing the rigidity and harmonic consistency needed to deliver sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition. The rifle retains the reliable, gas-operated action of the M1A, offering fast follow-up shots without sacrificing the stability required for precise engagement downrange.

Features & Specs

This isn’t just a standard M1A with a new barrel. It is a complete, purpose-built precision package. The stock is a fully adjustable McMillan fiberglass unit, offering a length of pull and comb height adjustments to fit your specific shooting position. The heavy Douglas barrel is chrome-moly steel, air-gauged for straightness, and features a target crown to protect the rifling. The two-stage military trigger is tuned for a crisp break, aiding in shot placement.

This is a factory-built rifle, not a custom build, meaning it comes with the warranty and support of Springfield Armory.
