Our Assessment: This Springfield Armory National Match Rifle is a precision-oriented example built around a 22-inch stainless National Match barrel and the classic M14-style flash hider. The action is bedded into a walnut stock, providing a solid and consistent platform for accuracy, while the rifle retains National Match iron sights with a hooded rear aperture for precise target shooting. The combination of a heavy National Match barrel, bedded action, and match-grade sighting system gives this rifle the traditional configuration associated with Springfield Armory's accuracy-focused M14-pattern rifles.
This example is also equipped with an NC Star 10-40x50 Rangefinder scope featuring a second focal plane BDC crosshair, side-mounted parallax adjustment, exposed 1/8 MOA turrets, and a green illuminated reticle, providing a magnified sighting option alongside the factory National Match irons. A leather sling is included, along with an extensive magazine package consisting of three 20-round, one 10-round, and one 5-round magazines. Combining the stainless National Match barrel, bedded action, walnut stock, match sights, high-power optic, and generous accessory package, this is a particularly well-equipped range ready rifle.
