Springfield SAINT: Your High-Value AR-15
Back in 2016, Springfield Armory released its SAINT line of AR-15s. The collection included AR pistols, standard rifles, and short-barreled rifles as well. Some were offered in different calibers, but most focused on the tried-and-true 5.56. The baseline model was simply called
SAINT. The next step up was called
SAINT Victor, and the top-tier package was called
The premise behind the packages was to offer high-value guns right out of the box, with no-frills upgrades needed. I recently got the opportunity to test the SAINT. We ended up on quite a journey together, but I came away with a good understanding of the rifle and appreciation for the quality it represents.
