The Springfield Armory Saint Victor .308 Winchester delivers precision rifle performance in a compact, California-compliant configuration. This semi-automatic rifle combines proven AR-10 platform reliability with modern manufacturing standards for both competitive shooting and hunting applications.
What Makes This Different
Built on Springfield's enhanced AR-10 platform, the Saint Victor .308 features a mid-length gas system that reduces felt recoil while maintaining consistent cycling with various ammunition weights. The 16-inch CMV barrel with 1:10 twist rate stabilizes bullets from 150 to 180 grains effectively. Unlike basic .308 rifles, this model includes a free-floating handguard and adjustable gas block for optimal accuracy potential.
Key Features
- 16-inch chrome moly vanadium barrel with 1:10 twist rate for versatile ammunition compatibility
- Mid-length gas system with adjustable gas block for reliable cycling and reduced recoil
- Free-floating M-LOK handguard allows consistent barrel harmonics and accessory mounting
- California-compliant configuration with fixed stock and compliant grip
- Nickel boron coated bolt carrier group for enhanced corrosion resistance and easier cleaning
- Single-stage trigger with approximately 6-pound pull weight
- Includes one 10-round magazine for California compliance
The Saint Victor .308 performs consistently across hunting scenarios from whitetail to larger game, while the platform's inherent accuracy makes it suitable for precision rifle competitions. The mid-length gas system handles both 150-grain hunting loads and heavier match ammunition reliably. Weather-resistant finishes on all metal components ensure function in adverse conditions, while the free-floating handguard maintains zero even with mounted accessories.
