Overview

This package pairs the Springfield Saint 5.56mm free float handguard semi-auto rifle with a Burris scope and mount, offering a cohesive shooting system for target, home defense, and recreational use. The free float handguard ensures that barrel harmonics are not disrupted by accessory pressure, improving shot-to-shot consistency.

This rifle is manufactured in the United States and meets the quality standards expected from a major American firearms brand.
