\"Springfield
As it comes from the factory, just add sight and ammo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Springfield Armory has christened a new Saint, this one is a pistol and it\u2019s in .308 Win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first thought when I saw it was, here is a great traveling gun, or bug out gun, or farm\/ranch gun. It\u2019s got enough power to handle any situation you might have come up whether you live in Alaska or Florida. It\u2019s small enough to fit handily in an RV, UTV, boat, plane, automobile, in a pack, or on horseback. It comes with a padded appropriate sized case, that will accept two spare magazines. The gun comes with a PMag, as well as the obligatory lock and the Springfield Armory and Saint logo.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Springfield
Caliber and barrel twist are clearly marked and visible through the fore-end.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s compact, powerful, accurate, and reliable. On the compact end it\u2019s 28.25\u201d collapsed and 30.5\u201d with brace fully extended. The 10.3\u201d barrel provides enough stability at 100 yards, for bullets weighing up to 180grs. which was the heaviest I shot. The lightest used was 110gr. Sierra HP. Included in the reliability and accuracy testing was 145gr. PrviPartisan FMJ, LC Match M118 172gr., and assorted commercial ammo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Springfield
The difference in ejector plungers is clearly evident.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before the shooting started I disassembled the gun to inspect parts and ensure everything was in proper working order. There were some very subtle differences between this 308 AR, and the others I\u2019ve dealt with. The Victor uses the standard AR10 operating system, which I find much more reliable and easier to maintain. The differences I\u2019d found were not major changes and I don\u2019t know if they will prove a benefit or not, but at least one of them I find beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Springfield
Firing pin retaining pin on the Saint Victor (left) differs slightly from normal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The firing pin retaining pin on the Victor first is solid as it should be but also has a small raised portion on the split end. This raised portion provides very positive retention of the FP retaining pin. On other AR10\u2019s the pin is solid but smooth and consistent in diameter. Numerous times I\u2019ve pulled my BCG and the pin has dropped out of the BCG onto the ground; not with the Victor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Springfield
Saint Victor firing pin (left) also differs slightly, from normal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The firing pin is also slightly different from other AR10\u2019s, the end that slips through the bolt head and contacts the primer is slightly smaller in diameter, but everything behind that is much larger in diameter. The last small difference is the ejector plunger where it contacts the base of the case, on the Victor, it is domed, on other AR10\u2019s it is flat. Will these prove beneficial? They are not a hindrance, so time will tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Springfield
The hand stop allows for a couple of fingers in front but no more.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Originally I had chosen a red dot sight to go on the Victor since I could use it without worrying about eye relief. However since I wanted to see what kind of accuracy the Victor was capable of, I decided to go with a magnified optic. The optic mounting space on the gun measures 8\u201d on top of the upper receiver, plus an additional 1.25\u201d out near the muzzle. So plenty of space to mount any type or combination of optics. Using the arm brace as designed took some getting used to. The elastic strap on the SB brace works better than I expected though. I found once you fit it to your arm, simply slide your arm out leaving the strap set to that adjustment. Then when needed again you simply slide your arm in and get to shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hand stop on the other end of the gun is placed as far forward as it can get. You might be able to safely get two fingers in front of the hand stop, but any more and you risk touching the muzzle device and burning your finger once it gets hot. The fore-end is nice and slender, measuring 1.73\u201d across the flats.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Springfield
Nickel Boron coated trigger parts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The trigger breaks at 8.5# according to my trigger pull gauge. The trigger is a standard AR-type configuration, which is ruff, tuff, and ready for stuff. It\u2019s not the glass rod break of a really nice aftermarket trigger, but it\u2019s made to work and work, and work. The trigger shoe is a straight type which I prefer, to the original curved type.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Springfield
A straight trigger is another nice alternative from the normal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The BCG is Melonite coated and the coating makes for a nice hard and slick surface, but you should still lubricate the gun regularly. An AR15 can get away with less lubrication, but the AR10\u2019s seem to get hotter faster and burn away oil quicker. So do yourself a favor and lubricate it after 3-4 magazines. The Bravo Co. Mfg. compartmented pistol grip makes a great place to keep a small bottle of lube. It is also very comfortable in the hand, with just enough tactile surfacing to make it grippy but not too sharp.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Springfield
BCM grip provides a compartment for spare battery or lubrication.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another small feature that is important is the double staking of the two screws holding the gas key in place, a mechanical attachment holds when liquid adhesives have lost their ability due to heat compromise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Springfield
Dual staking of gas key screws is always a good idea.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The receiver tightening feature, Accu-Tite tension system, does a good job of eliminating play between the upper and lower receivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The markings on the gun are bold and easy to read, including letting those around you know that you have a Saint in your hands. The important markings, FIRE and SAFE, utilize pictographs so that if you can\u2019t read English you\u2019ll still know what the settings mean. The gun comes with a single-sided selector lever but the markings are set up to be read from either side of the gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Springfield
Pictograph for Fire and Safe is universally understood.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Integrated into the SB brace is a standard 1\/2\u201d quick detach sling attachment, that can be mated up with one you can place in the M-Lok fore-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Springfield<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That about covers the features and details of the gun. I\u2019ve included the SA spec sheet for the gun that covers some of the more intricate details of the type of forged receivers, finish on parts, and measurements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let\u2019s get down to how it shoots and handles, velocities, accuracy, and recoil. As mentioned earlier I shot a variety of loads, from 110gr. HP to 180gr. RNSP. I was also curious about velocity loss from the 10.3\u201d barrel, so I\u2019ve included loads that I chronographed in my 20\u201d gun and shot them in the Saint Victor for comparison. Seven loads were selected and fired for velocity and accuracy, they are listed here. Accuracy is the average of three 5 shot groups fired at 100 yards, velocity is average of five rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

110gr. Sierra HP \/ 2379fps avg. \/ 1.5\u201d grp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

125gr. Sierra OTM \/ 2475fps avg. \/ 1.5\u201dgrp. \/ 20\u201d-2771fps<\/p>\n\n\n\n

145gr. PPU FM \/ 2377fps avg. \/ 6\u201d grp. \/ 20\u201d-2750fps<\/p>\n\n\n\n

150gr. Rem. FMJ \/ 2316fps avg. \/ 1.25\u201d group \/ Advertised @ 2820fps <\/p>\n\n\n\n

168gr. Horn. ELD-M \/ 2375fps avg. \/ 2\u201dgrp. \/ Advertised @ 2700fps<\/p>\n\n\n\n

173gr. LC M118 \/ 2214fps avg. \/ 2.5\u201d grp. \/ 20\u201d-2500fps  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

180gr. Winchester RN \/ 2142fps avg. \/ 1.75\u201d grp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had the Saint Victor on the range for an afternoon and was able to put over a pile of different rounds through it. All I did was lubricate it before I started, and it ran and ran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest surprise for me regarding accuracy was how well the 180gr. RN performed. Also how disappointing the 145gr. PPU ammunition performed, considering how well it does from my other AR10\u2019s. The gun definitely shot lighter bullets more accurately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Springfield
There is no questioning what you have in your hands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The recoil impulse was what I call \u201csoft\u201d compared to the harshness of some AR10 rifles. This is probably attributed to the muzzle device and the tungsten buffer. The muzzle blast also seemed to be directed away from the shooter which made for a much nicer bench session at the range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took a magazine full and did double taps on an 8\u201d black bullseye target and was easily able to keep both hits in the black at 15 yards. If I was an LE patrolman in Alaska and needed to address bear or moose issues, the Saint Victor would be an excellent option to the standard 12ga. shotgun.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering this is a pistol and not a rifle, accuracy was more than adequate. If I needed to hunt with the Victor, in a survival situation I would not feel handicapped.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some questions I try to answer in any product review I do are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*What was my most liked feature? It\u2019s a small thing, but I really appreciate the firing pin retaining pins retention.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*What is my least liked feature? The SB brace and strap take some getting used to.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*What was a pleasant surprise? The recoil impulse and muzzle blast were much less than expected.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*What was an unpleasant surprise? The amount of velocity loss was more than expected, however other propellants or factory ammunition may cure that issue.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Springfield
As tested.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My hope is this review is able to answer questions you may have about the Springfield Armory Saint Victor and help you make a more informed decision if you\u2019re considering a purchase. MSRP is 1363.00. Personally, I give it a thumbs up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
