Springfield M1A Loaded 6.5 Creedmoor with FDE Precision Adjustable Stock and Stainless Barrel

There are few rifles that carry the lineage and proven reliability of the M1A platform, and this modern take from Springfield Armory elevates it for today’s precision shooter. The Springfield M1A Loaded 6.5 Creedmoor with FDE Precision Adjustable Stock and Stainless Barrel blends the classic gas-operated action with a chambering that flattens trajectories and tames recoil. Whether you are ringing steel at distance or working up a tight handload, this rifle delivers consistent performance without the bulk of a dedicated custom build.

Overview

Springfield Armory took the time-honored M1A design and adapted it for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, paired with a free-floating stainless steel barrel. The Flat Dark Earth (FDE) precision adjustable stock replaces the traditional walnut or synthetic stock, giving you a fully adjustable cheek piece and length of pull. This isn’t a safe queen—it is a shooter’s rifle that benefits from the M1A’s rugged piston system while offering the accuracy potential of a modern precision rifle. The stainless barrel resists corrosion and cleans up easily, making it a solid choice for hunters and competitors who spend long hours in the field or on the range.

Features & Specs

The combination of the Springfield M1A Loaded 6.5 Creedmoor with FDE Precision Adjustable Stock and Stainless Barrel brings together several key upgrades that set it apart from standard M1A models. Here is what you can expect from the factory:

• Caliber: 6.5 Creedmoor, offering a flatter trajectory and less wind drift than .308 Win, with reduced recoil for faster follow-up shots.
• Barrel: 22-inch stainless steel, hand-fitted and free-floated to minimize pressure points and improve consistency shot after shot.
• Stock: FDE precision adjustable stock with a fully adjustable cheek piece and buttpad, allowing you to dial in your eye alignment and length of pull for prone, bench, or positional shooting.
• Sights: National Match front and rear aperture sights for iron sight shooting, with a stripper clip guide on the receiver for quick reloads.
• Receiver: Forged and machined from a billet of carbon steel, heat-treated, and then finished in a durable military-spec parkerized coating.

Additional factory specifications include a two-stage match trigger that breaks cleanly around 4.5 to 5 pounds, a four-position gas plug for tuning with or without a suppressor, and a steel scope mount base that accepts standard M1A optics mounts. The rifle ships with one 10-round magazine.

• Overall length: 44.5 inches with the stock fully collapsed; adjustable out to approximately 46 inches.
• Weight: approximately 9.8 pounds unloaded, balanced well for offhand shooting and positional work.
• Twist rate: 1:8 inch, optimized for 120-147 grain 6.5 Creedmoor bullets commonly used for long-range accuracy.

Who It’s For

This Springfield M1A Loaded 6.5 Creedmoor with FDE Precision Adjustable Stock and Stainless Barrel is built for the shooter who wants the reliability of a battle-proven action but demands modern accuracy and ergonomics. If you are a service rifle competitor looking to step into a 6.5 Creedmoor division, or a hunter who needs a rifle that can reach out past 500 yards on open-country game like pronghorn or mule deer, this platform gives you that capability without straying from the M1A ecosystem. It also suits the collector who appreciates the classic silhouette but wants a more shooter-friendly stock and a caliber that handles wind better at distance. If you already own other M1A variants, the manual of arms stays the same, so training transfers directly.

• Precision rifle shooters who want a semi-auto option with adjustable stock geometry.
• Hunters in open terrain where 6.5 Creedmoor’s long-range performance shines.
• M1A enthusiasts looking for a modernized build with a stainless barrel and adjustable chassis.
