    a lot of speculation it's Springfield's answer to the Sig Legion series but nobody really knows. They're going to strike out if it's not a release of some new guns imo.

    I will be watching...I have accumulated a few Springfield firearms and have really liked what I bought. Brand is the promise of future performance based on past experience and I have to say I've been very pleased with my purchases

    Blue label line

    SA already has one. Their discount is basically the same price as if you just shop around online. Only two LE lines worth using is Glock's blue label and CZ if you want something that is out of stock/sometimes slight discount.

    Saw the Vickers ad for this. Seems like a pretty nice setup. I like the keymod rail addition.

    Nice specs but that was a lot of build up for another AR wearing bcm furniture.

    Not knocking the product, specs or pricing. Just unimpressed with the build up for the release of a product that offers nothing new to a flooded market. There's nothing about this that really jumps out at me.

    Their hype was just trying to get a their horse in the Race. The field is pretty full.. I think they will offer higher build levels like they do for the M1A down the road. They probably think the Springfield Armory name they bought will draw customers like it did to their poly pistol Line. Lol

    I'm sure with the right price point they will sell a few but I'll stick to building my own. I have only bought 2 complete AR15's ever and 1 was a knock off Beowulf. Free P-mag to anybody who can guess my first brand including model by midnight tonight.

    The saint should be significantly cheaper than the FNH. As mentioned already, you can build your own with similar components for cheaper than you'll be able to buy either of these retail. Guys love to mention the lack of a factory warranty when you build your own but if you can't get your AR to work with in spec parts.... well... there are plenty of people offering a premium for a warranty.

    I was putting my guess towards the mini contest that FNHman posted in his last comment.
