Springfield Armory Introduces The Saint Rifle

November 1st, 2016

For some time, rumors swirled over a new product coming from Springfield Armory. It’s here now, and to be honest, I’m kind of surprised. The Black Rifle business wasn’t something I expected SA to get into.

Manufactured in their Geneseo, IL, factory, the Saint is the first rifle in their AR lineup. Relying on Bravo Company furniture, it’s a mid-gas carbine with a 16″ barrel.

Here are a couple of shots to give you a feel for the Saint, which will retail at $899.
