Springfield Armory Debuts New SAINT Victor Pistol in .308
Illinois-based Springfield Armory continues to expand its SAINT line of AR platforms by announcing this week a new Victor pistol chambered in .308 Winchester.
Standard with a 10.3-inch CMV barrel with a 1-in-10 twist and a 5-position adjustable SB Tactical SBA3 forearm brace, the new Victor is feature-rich. When it comes to specs, the AR-10 pistol is 28.25-inches long in its most compact form and weighs in at 8.4-pounds.
“The SAINT Victor Pistol in .308 gives shooters a premium featured AR pistol that delivers serious power in a small, lightweight and easily maneuverable platform,” said Steve Kramer, Springfield Armory’s VP of Marketing. “If you want a SAINT Pistol that offers more power than 5.56, then this is the one for you.”

Designed for a heavy round count, other features include a 9310 steel HPT/MPI bolt, a Melonite-finished barrel with a pinned low profile gas block, and a nickel boron coated single-stage flat trigger. The pistol uses M-LOK slots on a free-floating aluminum handguard, a top Pic rail, a 2-piece blast diverter muzzle device, and a BCMGUNFIGHTER Mod 3 pistol grip.
The Springfield Armory SAINT Victor pistol in .308 has an MSRP of $1,363 and ships with a single 20-round Magpul PMAG Gen M3 magazine. For comparison, this is about $300 more than SA’s other AR-15 Victor pistols chambered in 5.56 NATO and .300 BLK.
A state-compliant model is also available for those stuck behind the lines.
How does it shoot? Joe Kurtenbach with Shooting Illustrated has a first shots video, below.
