The result is a cohesive system that balances modern ergonomics, proven manufacturing, and optical precision.

Overview

Springfield Armory, a name synonymous with American firearms manufacturing, designed the Saint series to bridge the gap between entry-level and premium AR-15 platforms. The springfield saint 5.56mm free float handguard semi-auto rifle with burris scope and mount builds upon this foundation by incorporating a free-float M-Lok handguard that improves accuracy by eliminating barrel contact pressure. The included Burris scope and mount provide a ready-to-shoot solution for shooters who want a magnified optic without the complexity of separate purchases and installation. This rifle is chambered in 5.56mm NATO, accepting both .223 Remington and 5.56mm ammunition, and functions as a semi-automatic, direct-impingement gas system firearm. The package is assembled in Geneseo, Illinois, and meets the standards expected of a modern sporting rifle.

Features & Specs

This rifle is built around a 16-inch, chrome-moly vanadium steel barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing a wide range of bullet weights from 55-grain to 77-grain projectiles. The free-float handguard is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum with a full-length Picatinny top rail and M-Lok slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions for accessory mounting. The bolt carrier group is phosphate-coated with a shot-peened and MPI-tested bolt for enhanced durability. The lower receiver features an aluminum construction with an Accu-Tite tension system to reduce upper-to-lower receiver slop, and includes a B5 Systems Type 23 pistol grip and a B5 Systems SOPMOD collapsible stock. The trigger is a nickel-boron coated single-stage unit with a factory pull weight of approximately 5.5 to 6.5 pounds. The included Burris scope is a Fullfield II 3-9x40mm model with a ballistic Plex reticle, mounted in Burris standard-height Weaver-style rings on a Picatinny rail. Total weight of the rifle with optic and mount is approximately 7.5 pounds empty.

This package eliminates guesswork for those who do not wish to research and assemble separate optic components, while still offering a platform that can be customized later with additional M-Lok accessories.
