Tracking a wounded hog at night is a difficult (some say exhilarating) experience, so in an attempt to inflict as much internal damage on a hog as possible, we chose DoubleTap's. If it’s easier for you to operate the weapon light with the thumb of your support hand, then mount the light on the left side of the stock. In a ground blind, you’re working from concealment, not cover, shooting through holes in your camouflage screen. Being right handed, I normally mount a weapon light on the right side of the stock since I’ll hopefully be shooting around cover with my body partially shielded.

While I’m a fan of the ghost ring aperture sight system on compact rifles, the full moon conditions during our hunt suggested the hogs would be most active at night, so Vortex’s variable power Razor HD Gen II 1-6X24 scope was mounted on top of the CQB, and Surefire’s 500 lumen M600 Ultra Scout light hung on the short, forward rail on the right side of the stock. It seemed mandatory that we travel to the panhandle section of Texas for some rough country hog hunting. cartridge and can mount a variety of accessories on its compact frame/stock, this “carbine” is in the same weight class as less powerful and comparably equipped versions of modern AR-style packages. At 9.2 pounds sans ammo it sounds a bit heavy, but considering it’s chambered for the powerful. The M1A SOCOM CQB has a 16.25 inch barrel, an adjustable polymer stock with accessory rails scattered around the stock, and the capability for almost any kind of sighting system you could imagine. Springfield’s latest rifle is a classic blending of features from both the hunting and tactical worlds. Given the many models of M1As available today, one might call Springfield Armory a custom military-surplus-like rifle manufacturer offering products at production prices.

In 1974 Springfield Armory began offering semi-auto versions of the M14 called the M1A. The problem with using surplus M14 rifles in the field is the rifle’s full-auto capability. Many of these guns were customized to better suit the specific needs or preferences of the individual. For generations Americans have hunted with the same rifles they used in military service.
