The AR platform is a very mature firearm design.
Did I want a base model I would then trick out with all the features I wanted?
The Edge is the top-tier offering in theSAINT family of AR-style firearms.
The Details
First of all, let me go over the features of this rifle.
Its a semi-automatic AR-platform rifle and is chambered for the 5.56mm cartridge.
I previously had a lower-end AR that I was considering using as a platform for upgrades.
AR parts are cheap, right?
It has an excellent BCM buttstock and a BCM Mod 3 pistol grip.
An enlarged trigger guard is also included, making it easier to shoot with gloved hands.
They are metal and seem to be extremely well made.
The Edge comes with an enlarged charging handle, which again is something I would add to an AR.
This rifle has a free-floatedM-Lok handguardcovering a 16 barrel with a Melonite finish and a 1:8 twist.
The muzzle brake is also very effective at taming any amount of muzzle rise.
Where It Counts
Okay, now here is the coolest part of this rifle.
It has an MSRP of just $1,350.
Im seriously not even sure how thats possible.
I know a good pair of iron sights is about $100, easily.
So, this rifle has immense value.
You are probably wondering about the performance.
The accuracy has been great.
Its fun to shoot and the muzzle brake is highly effective.
Then, I took it out to 200 yards with no real effort.
I also have taken this coyote hunting and successfully shot one on the run at about 100 yards.
This allowed me to put my pressure switch for myOlight Odin Minion top.
Also, Im using the Armageddon Gear heavy carbine sling.
Conclusion
I am extremely pleased with my purchase of this gun.
So, is there anything I would change about this rifle?
