I own a SAINT Victor .308 for utility and some fun.
Frankly, I feel silly for overlooking it now.
Its not hard to shoot,per se, but it is more challenging than a 5.56mm.
The SAINT Victor Pistol in .308 brings a lot of purpose-built power to a very compact package.
But, theres something to be said for packing in more power into a still compact package.
The Details
Lets talk about the size of the gun.
The pistol features an SB Tactical SBA3 brace.
The pistol has a 10.3″ barrel that helps contribute to its small size.
The gun weighs in at 8 lbs.
6 oz., and the CMV Melonite-coated barrel is a short 10.3 with a 1:10 twist.
Topping off the muzzle is a Springfield Armory 2-Piece Blast Diverter.
Travis was excited to try out the new .308 pistol and found it to be a lot of fun.
Surrounding the barrel is an aluminum M-Lok free-float forend equipped with a forward safety stop.
Shooting this gun is a literal and figurative blast.
Yes, its a .308 that is around 28 long, but it is more than shootable.
This .308 comes standard with a 20-round Magpul PMAG Gen3 magazine.
The SBA3 brace is quite comfortable and wraps around the arm easily enough.
It also makes it very easy for the shooter to get on and stay on target.
Out to 50 yards, I shot appreciatively better with the brace than without it.
The .308 Victor Pistol packs in a ton of power into a small package.
Downrange
The SAINT Victor also proved to be more accurate than I expected.
The targets ranged from a 10-wide gong all the way down to a clay pigeon.
The SAINT Victor Pistol in .308 is accurate enough to be an excellent field companion.
The 2-Piece Blast Diverter helps shooters manage the concussive power of the .308 round.
If youre on foot, its superbly light and easy to sling across your back.
It ate, fired and ejected everything I tossed through it.
They describe it as Purpose Built Power, and I agree but Id also call it just plain fun!
At its shortest, the pistol is just a hair over 28″ long.
And at an MSRP of $1,363, it wont break the bank either.
c’mon ensure you are up-to-date on all current laws.

Travis is a big fan of the SB Tactical SBA3 wrist brace and was glad to see it on the Victor Pistol in .308.
Travis topped off the pistol with a Meprolight Foresight red dot and was ringing steel at 50 yards in no time.
