Sexy, Lightweight, & Affordable AR-10 - The Saint Victor .308 Rifle

[@qh4007]

I have the 556 version and definitely want the Big Brother 308. Have about 5000 rnds down range in the last year on the Saint Victor. It has been flawless. All brass ammo. I do keep her clean and ready. Can't go wrong with this choice. Springfield nailed it!

[@vincentmelini9129]

I'm at about the same spot. Bought mine 2 years ago and have 3500 rounds brass and steel and not a single problem, I mean not one issue ever.

[@blakesimpson5377]

Took the words right out of my mouth! Every time I hit the range, people come up and ask me what I am shooting because it does have a little punch to it for everybody else there. I could only imagine how the big boy .308 is going to punch.

There are YT channels that offer updates on the legal aspects of the 2A movement. Others delve into firearm reviews and industry news. This channel obviously does both, but adds one more very important factor to the table: Coolness. A focus on the asthenic component of firearm ownership helps cultivate a greater appreciation for them over a wider audience. So keep telling us how elegant a particular firearm is to hold, shoot, or just admire. That analysis is your most unique contribution to our community.

I bought a palmetto AR 10. Chrome barrel. It's got some weight, but it's never had a single malfunction and consistently hits. Waaaaaaaay more affordable. I know it's not the same, but work with what you can get.

[@angeldesigns1385]

I’m not oblivious to the fact that PSA does have some flaws from the manufacturer, but my PSA 10.5 5.56 with a few upgrades is one of my most reliable AR’s I own. I’ve probably only shot a little over 1500 Rounds, but it has never given me a single issue. and I have a few high end AR’s that have.

I actually love the fact that there are no rail lugs on top starting about an inch past the the beginning of the barrel. It's not like I am ever going to mount anything there anyways-- anything out that far is going to be mounted on the side or underneath. I feel like it makes the rifle much more comfortable to handle without always catching my rest hand/glove on those lugs as I am toting it around and/or repositioning it.

[@ShiftyKen08]

You're finally doing a review on a firearm I actually own! And i bought it for almost every reason you stated. I started out with the 5.56 version of this rifle, and I loved it so much that when I discovered that Springfield made a 308 version, I had to have it, and I wasn't disappointed! The only thing that was different between the two rifles is that the 5.56 version came with an ambi 45° safety selector and the 308 did not, which is the only thing I've changed on mine. All i really need now is an LPVO and a sling.

My dad bought the sfar, and I have the saint. The sfar is definitely lighter, and the styling is more aggressive. Which is cool looking but has some sharp points on rail that can scratch your hand. Also, rail makes slight ting noise when taped on with finger. It's probably because it's more thin compared to the saint. All the finishes on the saint feel better quality, sturdy, and sleek. It's not too flashy in design. Both are awesome rifles. Luckily, my dad bought the other option, so I never felt like I made the wrong choice because we got both, haha.

[@g3attack]

​@@fxt1224 I wanted the Ruger but found the Victor for 1087.00 at Bereli. I had held them both at my local gun store and the Springfield just felt more solid. The bolt in the Ruger also was a concern for all the people that work at my local gun shop.

[@russellleavitt4449]

I really like mine. It's a very dependable, accurate, and just plane fun rifle to own and shoot! If your looking to get one I recommend this one for a good quality SHTF weapon. The front sight on yours is different than mine. I have the proprietary Springfield front and rear iron spring loaded sights and they stay flat. If you really want to see that trigger in action run a Magpul 50 round drum through it. Your right this trigger just looks so wicked in its nickel boron finish. The finish on the entire rifle is Melonite to include the BCG. It does have Bravo Company furniture and a bottom acces grip. The real attention grabber of this weapon is it is chambered in .308. The expansive available ability .308 rounds makes the AR 10 a really nice choice vs the AR 15 or AR 12. The flat rail is very nice to grab on to. I really don't miss the top rail there are just so many M-Loc points on the handguard to meet really any need. I do keep a bipod on mine better to have than to need. I like the Springfield proprietary compensator it really keeps this weapon shooting straight even through mag dumps. The gas block is pinned and adjustable with the provided gas block adjuster tool read up on that. It's always better to be Victor.

[@fastimpala2015]

Springfield Armory make great rifles in the mid range market. Those who buy them love them and tell people about them. There is one flaw to Springfield armory guns and that is their service department for warranties. It is like a ghost town non-existent. When I bought my Saint Victor B5 and had a couple small issues I tried calling them six times left voicemails and six emails and have never received anything from the factory back so I fixed my gun myself on my dime. So be careful what manufacture you buy their product you get what you pay for and sometimes you don’t get what you pay for.!!!

I've had great luck with their service department, they were responsive and helpful when I needed them.

Well don’t feel to bad I’ve had a few issues out of my DD MK18 and DD customer service has not been very helpful at all. They keep telling me that it’s either my fault, ammo failure,(I’ve tried a gazillion types of ammo) or I just need to switch out the barrel to a 11.5..oh but the guy did tell me that they would let me know when an 11.5 barrel was in stock so that I could be the first to purchase one, which is probably like a million years from now 👍

Is there trying to sell you other parts that you shouldn’t need if your gun was working properly and that is my point.

And when a manufacturer says it is the owners fault not the manufacturers fault they should raise flags and give rise to a lot of questions. Why a manufacturer is blaming it on the customer if they are using it for what it’s designed for! Just saying!!!

(I haven’t shot it myself) but yeah it seem like something weird is going on with a DD..I try to take info with a grain of salt, but I was talking to a guy that I’ve known for a while through arms list, and he said he found out the Gasport size was too small on the MK 18. He had it drilled out to the next size, and claims he hasn’t had a issue out of it since. He also claims that he found that out through another guy having the same issue but solved it the same way. I called CS back to ask them about it, but he just said it was in no way possible, and if anything they are actually over ported. 🤷 I just don’t think I should have to spend the money on a gunsmith to have it looked at but I guess I will have to one of these days.

308 is a nice mid size round. Fun to shoot but still semi affordable compared to 6.5 creedmoor. I built mine then decided to suppress it and dummy me forgot to put an adjustable gass block on it. Rookie move i know but we is fixing it now.

[@BrassBashers]

Funny enough I haven't had to adjust the gas on any gun I throw my can on, it is a junky boi though. It's like 1.7" diameter and 7 inches long solvent trap kit that I got the stamp for. I works on AR rifles, AR pistols, and even my AK with no adjustments needed. The AR pistol though was adjusted and rocksetted right after I got it, it was over-gassed as hell from PSA and kicked way more than any .223 should.

[@jamomeara1894]

Rookie question but why do you need an adjustable gas block?

[@reefread1234]

get both 6.5 upper is interchangeable in ar 10 platforms

[@BrassBashers]

@@jamomeara1894 well essentially, and I'm kind of dumbing this down here/might be slightly off, but in some guns with a silencer you don't get enough gas coming back into the gun to cycle the action fully. Like on my AK yes it functions with the can, but the bolt moves back slower than it does without the can. If it got enough fowling inside it might not cycle, I wouldn't run the can on the AK if it were going to be adverse conditions. On my AR pistol it had too much gas coming back from the factory, increasing recoil and could shorten the life of some parts in the gun. So you throw an adjustable block on there, set it somewhere in the middle where it ejects brass at 2-3 o'clock, set it, and in my case used rocksett on the set screw to keep it from ever backing off.

I have larger hands, plus you do not feel the heat from the barrel as fast..

I love thumpers. At least that's how I think about my large caliber rifles. I've got an older .308 "battle rifle" that's all kinds of fun for me, an AR-10 styled rifle would be a nice acquisition. This one is a really pretty one, I'll have to consider it.

[@bamablk79]

I bought the same firearm as my first AR. I love it for targets and hunting!!!

[@kdoggie90]

Great job on the video Colion! Looks like a slick rifle the way you have it set up! Looks like it shoots soft for a 7.62 as well! I might have to aquire one! NICE!!! 👍👍👍

[@Chopper668]

I can't lie, I was looking for a mag fed 308 bolt gun when I came across this video, I picked this up instead. I replaced the charging handle with a Breek Arms Warhammer 2.0, Adaptive Tactical stock, BCM foregrip, and a Sig Tango MSR 1-10. I love the setup. Planning to add a 45° offset red dot. Can confirm, muzzle break makes everyone mad around you.

[@cjbecker1683]

I was just thinking an offset sight of some sort & simply get rid of the flip up sights would be a good way to go......

[@nahkohese555]

I've always been a fan of the .308. I think I might have to take a closer look at this one.

I have 2 AR 15's (F-1 and a Ruger for the "back-up that was on sale for an incredible price). I love the F-1. Since I have a Springfield M1A that I call the "broomstick". I have been on the fence about having another .308 in an AR platform. IF I decide to get one, this will be it. I have 2 Springfield firearms and love them both. Never an issues with my XD 40 I have had for about 13 years and the M1A is a classic, dependable combat rifle.

[@groberts1980]

I'd be curious whether you like the Victor or the SFAR better. For the money I'd go with the SFAR.

[@sageleblanc6522]

Screen shaking edits hit so smoothhhh…. Btw sealed the deal after watching this video and bought my own 😎

[@Blue-cq2hl]

I picked up one of these in 308 not too long ago despite wanting not an ar10 but it looks nice and the price is hard to argue with. I was looking at the sfar as well at that point. I really just want to change the stock and grip now that the charging handle is swapped out. It feels so good out of the box. I got the sig lpvo on mine. I like a slightly stiffer trigger than the quick 3lb ones and at first didn't like it but it's grown on me. It's really nice and definitely doesn't have that slop of milspec.

[@americandude3825]

As someone who shot 300 win mag in competition growing up at 1000 yard and shot 308 on Hathcock range for a year and a half with a SSP….I prefer 6.5 cm to both of them. 308 is comfy under 800. Takes a good bit of skill after that. 300 is comfy at 1000 but expensive and very loud. The energy when it hits is astronomical. It will blow a softball sized hole through a deer at 350 yards. 6.5cm…no recoil, fast, flat, and soooo east to shoot out past 1000. Cheers brothers and sisters!!!!

[@reefread1234]

a 6.5 upper can cover that with a ar 10 lower they are interchangeable

[@americandude3825]

[@groundupempire4606]

Saint Victor is just a sexy beast… I looked at one in 5.56 a while back but it was way over msrp. .308 I can get with but in that 16 inch barrel just seems a little small… 18 or 20 inch would do it justice.

[@LaserParody]

Only reason I can think of is I live in deep forest bear country.... but it would still be a hard sell going under 20" on a .308 for me... the whole point would be hunting (right now looking at an Aero Precision 10, with .308 upper @ 20", and a 6.5 creed upper @ 22" [or maybe even 24]).

[@MMCUSN]

I put together a CMMG .308 years ago, upper lower and floating barrel. It was just a bit more $ than the base Saint Victor on the web site, but not by much. I fitted it with an old Tasco high powered scope I got from my Dad, a very nice muzzle brake and various furniture. I was a bit hesitant in assembling an AR-10 on my own, but it was a great project and a great learning experience. There is so much info and guides out there that it was a lot easier than I initially thought. Not to take anything away from this Springfield, but I do prefer assembling my own AR weapons. Keep you powder dry.

[@j.p.4541]

The Saint looks likes a viable option for the .308 platform. I had a DD5 V4 and after many trips back to the manufacturer, I got rid of it. Was debating on this or the Tavor 7.

[@cobra1995xx]

i cant comment on the tavor but this gun shoots everything well. i shot any kind of ammo you could think of from all different hunting to tracer,, spits it all out accurately. i just run it with an eotech and go out to 300 very reliably.

[@g3attack]

Check Bereli. I picked mine up from them for 1087.00. Everyone else wanted 1400 and up!

I agree with everything said in this video. It is an awesome platform. The recoil on this system is manageable. I love mine. Replaced the iron's.

[@raacore]

Nice content. Looks similar to my HK762A1, minus the pic rail going throughout. Seems agile enough.. and in the top 5 of readily avail. ammo so it classes to do shtf endgame. Glad springfield is stepping up again. I want that trigger, or a similiar geissele on my HK. Thanks!

[@SillyDillysTunes]

Love my .308 saint trigger! Love the gun in general. 😊

[@robkenny1529]

I have the Saint Victor in 556. It’s been an awesome rifle, zero issues and likes to run. So I ordered another one for the wife. The lack of picatinny rail on top does drive me nuts, but I can get past it. Will probably get the 308 version too, but I was leaning towards the SFAR because it does have a full top pic rail and has a 20” version. My preference would be an 18” barrel for 308. Funny thing, Springfield actually offers a full pic rail on their SBR models, but not 16” 🤯 All in all, it’s hard to be mad at the Saint Victor. I’ve actually come to really like the trigger, both the flat face and the tactile feeling like you said. These are incredibly nice rifles out of the box, especially at the price point!

Great review! I almost bought this rifle until the sales associate at Palmetto State Armory pointed out to me (and in the rifle's manual) that in order to adjust the gas system the user must "physically" remove the gas plug screw(one of three color coded screws), with the potential of losing a screw(or stripping one) made my decision to buy the Palmetto State Armory PSA 10 (Gen 3) with an adjustable gas block that much easier...

[@MongoMan1776]

I love the 308, I use a M1A from Springfield SOCOM version its on point. This rifle is defiantly my next one for an optical setup.

[@MrKKUT1984]

I have the saint edge in 5.56 and it has a pretty good trigger. I've had a fostech binary trigger for it but haven't put it in yet just bc the factory one is so good. Also I have some springfield iron sights but they aren't plastic and they don't stick up like that either. They are actually really good also.

Thank you so much for reviewing the exact gun I just bought Jan 4. You voiced the very reasons I chose it. It's not overly optimized for any specialty, but excellent at everything, at a no frills price. I love it, of course. Given time, I might like it more than my Army M14. Maybe. I'm still researching optics & suppressor. I eventually want a matching 556. Thanks again Colion. What kind of name is Colion anyway? And Noir? That can't be a coincidence.
