Check out my video review above, and continue reading the article below.
We all know the AR platform has millions of followers and numerous manufacturers.
The SAINT Victor B5 5.56mm is a rifle that is a great deal more than the sum of its impressive list of parts.
Knowing there are so many options, what makes this SAINT Victor worth a look?
Lets dive in to decide.
Devils in the Details
Lets be honest.
Springfield Armory did not cut any corners on the Victor B5 rifle, employing high-grade parts in its build.
We all know there are $500 ARs out there, so why should we pay more?
To name a few reasons, there is quality of materials, quality of manufacturing and included options/features.
Thats where the SAINT Victor B5 rifle really stands out.
Springfield didnt cut any corners on the rifle.
Theres a saying: buy once, cry once.
Generally, this is in reference to getting the right item knowing you will spend the money once.
The lower — like the upper — receiver is forged for durability and strength.
In the case of theSAINT Victor, you are getting the right stuff without the crying.
The BCG with its melonited 9310 steel is going to last tens of thousands of rounds.
That smooth flat trigger gives a responsive and smooth experience during engagement.
The lower receiver is fitted out with a B5 Systems Type 23 P-Grip pistol grip and Enhanced SOPMOD stock.
Mixing a mid-length gas system with a confidence-building brake will provide smooth recoil and super-fast follow-up shots.
And of course, the forged upper and lower receivers will be there for years of hard use.
The B5 Systems stock provided great adjustability and ergonomics for modern shooting stances.
Mike found that the mid-length gas system and highly effective muzzle brake made the Victor 5.56mm very easy to control. He topped the carbine off with an EOTech HWS XPS2 for testing.
This rifle is truly more than the sum of its parts.

The Victor’s combination of features makes it a very effective carbine — both for fun “plinking” or serious duty use.
