98Z5V Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 (edited) 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. https://www.springfield-armory.com/ar-series/saint-edge-atc-ar-15-rifles/ 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.   Edited February 5 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 5 Author Report Share Posted February 5 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.
