SA Saint Edge ATC. Discontinued.

Recommended Posts

Scored one.  Fukced up last match and shot one that a buddy had, that he scored.  These things are gone now, no longer manufactured by Springfield Armory.

It's not a hunting gun.  It's a competition gun.  It has one purpose.

This Springfield ad was filmed at the range that we shoot the monthly matches at - Cowtown Range.

 

Here's a more indepth view of it, why it works...

 

Announced Dec '21, discontinued now.  Wow.  Short life, but one great rifle.

Within the first 41 rounds through it, it delivered this group.  It's 0.35", or 0.60", depending on how you look at it.  I fired what I had left from the last match through it, had a 10-rd mag left at the end - time to try to zero the scope with remaining rounds.  Fired 3, shifted turrets, fired 3, shifted turrets, fired again - and decided it needed one more click left.  Fired 3 more.  I'm impressed with the gun.

This is a 5.56 gun.  .223 Wylde chamber, 18" barrel mid gas, BA barrel, 1"7" twist.  

If any of you guys like running .223 or 5.56 to it's ragged edge, just for competition or accuracy - some of these are still out there in the wild.  Prices range from $900 to $1800, depending on what you find.  And, who's selling it, for what they think it's worth.  I scored the black one, the cheaper one, for $999.  MSRP on it when it came out was $1549.  That brown one was more expensive, but the only differences were Cerakote, the B5 Precision stock, and a LaRue trigger.  I've already upgraded the black one - and it WILL GET PAINTED...   Put the B5 Precision on it, and a Ballistic Engineering AR Accurized trigger.  This this is absolute money, for accuracy.  I love it.

Shameless plug here for @JBMatt to give the Product Announcement in the Firearms Industry, News, Gossip page...   for the Ballistic Engineering triggers...

Hey, Matt - here's where the product announcement goes, brother...

What's up with that color scheme? And when did you start buying used rifles from the guy who built the water-cooled mess? 🤣

You know me - if it's not Dirt-Colored, it's the wrong color...   :laffs:God made deer, rabbits and squirrels FDE, and we can't find THEM when we want to...   :thumbup:

 

Oh, and Mister Funny...  :thefinger:  Damien never coulda created something like this...

And - this thing was new-in-box, never fired, just sitting in the gunrack for 2 years in a shop...
