Unwilling to rest on their laurels, Springfield Armory has now stretched their legs yet further.
In The Beginning…
I figured we die-hard American gun nerds needed a new AR15 like we needed a rectal exam.
(Which sometimes you really do.
Just bend over and get it done.
Its even less fun for your doctor.
Trust me, I know.)
Then I actually handled a Springfield SAINT Victor, and it was love at first squeeze.
Now we have seen stripped down as well as tricked out SAINTs in both rifle and pistol configurations.
With this foundation, the folks at Springfield Armory realized the only place to go was up.
The overall impression is glassy smooth.
Unique SA locking tabs keep the full-length 15 M-Lok aluminum free-float handguard rock solid.
It offers plenty of real estate to support anything you might want to hang out there.
The direct gas-impingement action runs through a pinned low profile gas block tucking nicely underneath the handguard.
Saints Alive!
All this also now comes at about the same weight youd expect of your favorite piston-powered poodle popper.
The unique Springfield Armory muzzle brake excises most of the nasty out of those big fat .30-caliber rounds.
I had honestly expected the shooting experience to be a tad overwhelming given the guns modest weight.
Such was simply not the case.
I could bang rounds downrange until I ran dry without feeling battered.
If I paid attention and used quality ammo I could squeeze out sub-MOA at a football field.
It throws seriously manly bullets a seriously long ways while remaining a dream to tote.
Trim, tailored, and tough, the SAINT Victor .308 is a holy terror on the range.
