Springfield is a bought out name these days, not the same as the early u.s military asenal; they live off the name and piece together firearms from cheap parts makers, many not even located in the US.. honestly as far as ar15s go, if you want a good one stick with bcm, daniel defense, solgw, fn, ect.. better parts and qc.

@@billycole852 Being accessorized with a Bcm stock and grip doesn't make it anything of a bcm rifle. Especially not where it counts -ie the barrel, bcg, upper/lower recievers, and other parts. Edit: and yes I'm sure their ar's are 100% US made, it wouldn't make sense to buy parts for that type of rifle when there is such a buyers market for ar15 parts here in the USA. But most of their other offerings are NOT made fully in the US such as m1a, XD, ect

I have done my research and I believe the Saint Edge is the ar for me. This was a great review. I couldn't find any one who had experience with both the Saint Edge and Savage Recon. I have looked at features of both and believe the Recon is more accurate than Saint, but the Saint does come with better furniture that doesn't have to be replaced. I'm looking to get into competition shooting in my next years of my life and this video review was well done to help me make my decision. Thank you I liked the video and subscribed to your channel. Keep on keeping on sir.

What you are really buying when you buy a long gun from Savage is the excellent inherent in their receivers, triggers/fire-control groups, and barrels. Blackhawk is part of the same consortium which owns Savage, which is why their ARs use BH furniture and accessories. Every Savage rifle I have ever own has been an absolute tack-driver - highly-accurate right out of the box. They routinely outshoot guns costly 2-3x as much. So, if you feel that the Savage more accurate than the SA carbine, get the Savage and simply swap out the furniture for some Magpul or whatever it is you want. I used to work in the retail FA industry, and never had any complaints from customers who bought Savage products from us. Just my two cents...

You sure you didn't buy the Saint "Free Float" for $829? Looks very similar to Edge other than Trigger basically (has other modifications also though...). There are 3 rifle versions of the Saint presently. $829 - $899 is typical price range for Free Float. While Edge typically $999 - $1199 range. but smoking deal and worth every penny if you bought the Edge for $829!!!

I like parts of both guns, for me I like the flash hider over a muzzle brake, I prefer the A2 gas block and front sight over the flip up front sight, I prefer the non free float barrel (I am not worried about the half MOA difference it might make at 100 yards), I like the heavier barrel. Now I like the edges qd sling attachment points on it's receiver, and it's styling. I like the oversized charging handle, and the trigger on the edge. Overall I guess I am glad I went with the original saint for what I use it for, slinging alot of lead at between 50 and a 100 yards at my range.

The Upper on the edge is forged, but the lower is billet. Forged is a stronger final product than billet aluminum and forged is Mil-Spec...billet is not. Otherwise, I think you were spot on.

Does the edge have a Flat face trigger from the factory? Could have sworn I saw one. I would have loved to see the victor too I think more people are interested in that and the edge for the price upgrade between the two the victor is kind of a no brainer and it seems to be the same for the edge. For around $1100 I really don’t think you can find a complete rifle out of the box I think I’m going to pony up the few hundred extra and go with the edge I couldn’t believe how flat shooting and light it was I knew by the end of the first mag that was probably going to be the one I looked into iwi, sig, DD and the Springfield to me seems to be the best value the edge isn’t going to have me ordering parts online when I buy the rifle to change out other than a light and optic it seems to be ready to go I might switch out the charging handle for a raptor or something of the sort but I’m right handed so it’s not a huge deal. If you have the budget the edge can’t be matched for the money

The edge has more features and the original is more basic but I gotta say both are probably equally as capable and durable. The pencil barrel on the edge is light weight but I wouldn’t want to go to war with that thing.

For a novice of AR style weapons i liked the comparison. good info to know. i agree with another & would of liked to see the Free Float added comparison. Being a Springfiled owner myself, im looking into one of the 3 made. I own a near mint M1 Garand all original with matching numbers throughout. I added a National Match barrel for some odd reason. Springfield Bench Tested my firearm & said the original barrel has thousands of rounds left to be fired. After headspace adjustment, Parkerized to match the new barrel, cost less then $300. Now just want to upgrade my Mil Spec 1911 A1 .45acp. Looking at the 1911 PX9116LP .45acp. Thanks for the info, any suggestions about the Free Float Saint, im listening. Im back and forth on $715 for Original Saint compared to $1100 for Edge. The Free Float at approx $850, Id like to hear thoughts on any difference between original and free float other then the obvious free float barrel ... Thx ,,,,{°¿°},,,,

I own the Free Float and the Edge. Being a longtime Springfield fan I was excited about the Saint but did not pull the trigger on getting the Gen 1 because I already had 2 DPMS entry level AR's and the Saint Gen 1 with gas block stationary sight and standard forend, they were too similar to the DPMS's. I was hoping for something that didn't need to spend a lot more money on modifications. Then came the Free Float! At first look it was my dream come true I traded both DPMS's in on a Free Float. Solid platform without the need for a lot of mods and out of the box have shot several thousands of rounds through it. Only added a sling and optics and shot 25 , 50, 100, 300 yds ranges without any gun related issues. Very reliable and fun to shoot. I was skeptical of the Edge being already happy with the Free Float until I shot my buddy's Edge. Dang! There is a huge difference in triggers and bought one for my own and haven't had a regret. Put 600 rounds down range with it yesterday without any issue. Put 300 rounds through the Free Float too and no issues. I was sighting in new optics on the Edge but they didn't seem as fun as old optics on the Free Float so it was a good day at 100 & 200 yards with both guns. Personally, I am happy I waited. My buddy with the Gen 1 shot my Free Float and was hoping he had waited too. By the time you add a forend, rails, sling adapter you'd have more invested then going with a Free Float. Add the trigger and a few other mods to move to the Edge and for $1000-$1200 (about the going price range for the Edge) you can't go wrong! There are likely better more expensive AR's and less priced / less featured AR's going the other way but the Edge is a great gun and the Free Float is right there for the money ($800-$1000) too. Neither the Free Float or Edge didn't kill the bank account and has been fun and reliable since day one!

Those are both nice, but if I could only have 1, I'd choose the FSB middy ALL Day. Don't get me wrong, I love free float mlok rails but I don't trust LPGB (low profile gas blocks) bc I've had 1 come loose on a mid-tier rifle (Sig m400 tread) during a range trip doing flat ground and bench rest shooting using quality factory ammo. I bought the rifle new and checked all the screws but I didn't check to see if there was threadlock or a dimpled barrel. Yes on both! So even though it was in spec from the factory, the set screw came loose and misaligned my LPGB. I've come full circle, now all I want to shoot is iron sight with carry handle and just a white light. Using the "KISS" method.

If you plan on using a CA Compliant Maglock/kingpin setup, the edge is more limited because they moved the rear kingpin detent to come up from below instead of from behind. AR Maglock's Hyperswitch should work, but their other Kingpins will not. I also tried Cross Armory's quick pins, but because of the rear QD sling mount points, the quick pins doesnt work on the Edge.
