Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.* > The guns also got a 5-pound two-stage trigger which might feel sort of heavy but it's real obvious when it's going to break. > > — [Pew Pew Tactical](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U11URice_cM&t=196s) > I don't particularly care for a safety mechanism that I have to get my finger near the trigger to operate and the lever itself is quite stiff. > > — [Pew Pew Tactical](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U11URice_cM&t=287s) > The results were not fantastic it seemed like no matter what type of 308 ammunition we used from shitty PR VI to decent PMC to federal gold medal match. > > — [Pew Pew Tactical](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U11URice_cM&t=410s) > We still don't really know what to make of this entire experience. > > — [Pew Pew Tactical](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U11URice_cM&t=746s) ## What Customers Say *AI-generated insights from customer reviews* The Springfield M1A Loaded in .308 Matte Black draws on the M14's reputation, and most owners come in with clear expectations about what the platform is. Build quality is consistently praised. The steel receiver feels solid, and the fit and finish on the Loaded edition is generally considered better than entry-level M1A variants. Accuracy is a recurring positive. Owners report solid groups at distance, with the National Match sights and tuned trigger contributing noticeably to performance compared to standard-spec rifles. Weight is the most common practical concern. At 9.3 lbs unloaded, the M1A is heavier than most modern .308 alternatives, and that comes up in field carry discussions. Cost is another regular topic. The M1A Loaded sits at the upper end of the market, and potential buyers weigh it against newer, lighter rifles that offer different feature sets at sometimes lower prices. Magazine availability and cost come up in threads for new owners. .308 recoil is manageable for most, but new shooters occasionally note it takes time to settle into the platform. The M1A community online is active and shares a lot of institutional knowledge on maintenance and upgrades. ## Pricing **14 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Impactguns Com | $1599.99 | | Grabagun Com | $1649.99 | | Kygunco Com | $1660.99 | | Shootingsurplus Com | $1690.65 | | Gritrsports Com | $1703.99 | | Centerfiresystems Com | $1728.99 | | Palmettostatearmory Com | $1738.99 | | Buds Gun Shop | $1740.49 | | Gunbuyer Com | $1759.50 | | Globalordnance Com | $1759.50 | *...and 4 more offers* ## Reviews **Average Rating:** 5.0/5 (1 reviews) > **nina_k** (5/5): The synthetic stock keeps changing humidity from shifting my point of impact the way tightly fitted wood can.
