Springfield Saint 5.56mm Free Float Handguard Semi-Auto Rifle With Burris Scope And Mount

The Springfield Saint 5.56mm Free Float Handguard Semi-Auto Rifle with Burris Scope and Mount represents a complete, mission-ready carbine package from one of America’s most trusted firearms manufacturers. Springfield Armory has engineered this platform to deliver consistent accuracy and reliable cycling straight from the factory, pairing their combat-proven Saint rifle with a Burris optics system that allows for immediate engagement at variable distances. This package eliminates the need for separate component sourcing and mounting, providing a fully assembled, zeroed-ready system for the discerning shooter.

Overview

This semi-automatic rifle is chambered in 5.56mm NATO and features a 16-inch chrome-moly vanadium steel barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing a wide range of bullet weights from 55-grain to 77-grain loads. The free float handguard is constructed from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum with M-Lok attachment slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, allowing for the direct mounting of accessories without barrel interference. The included Burris scope and mount system provides a 3-9x40mm variable power optic with a ballistic plex reticle, factory-installed on a cantilever mount for proper eye relief on the Picatinny top rail. The rifle utilizes a direct impingement gas system with a mid-length gas tube, reducing felt recoil and improving dwell time compared to carbine-length configurations.

Features & Specs

• Barrel and Muzzle: 16-inch chrome-moly vanadium steel barrel with M4 feed ramps, 5.56mm NATO chamber, and a low-profile gas block. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 TPI and comes fitted with an A2-style flash hider. The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes both lightweight varmint rounds and heavier match-grade projectiles.
• Handguard and Sights: 15-inch free float M-Lok handguard made from 6061 aluminum with a full-length Picatinny top rail. The handguard is free floated to eliminate barrel contact points that degrade accuracy. No iron sights are included as the system is designed around the Burris scope, but the top rail accepts any standard backup sights.
• Burris Optics Package: Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40mm scope with ballistic plex reticle, fully multi-coated lenses, and a one-piece cantilever mount. The mount positions the scope at the correct height for AR-platform shooters and provides a solid return-to-zero capability if removed. The scope is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed for fogproof and waterproof performance.
• Lower Receiver and Controls: Forged 7075 T6 aluminum lower receiver with a standard GI trigger group (5.5-7.5 pound pull weight), a MIL-spec buffer tube, and a six-position collapsible carbine stock. The lower features an integral trigger guard and a flared magazine well for faster reloads. Accepts all standard AR-15 magazines.
• Weight and Dimensions: Overall length of 32.5 inches (collapsed stock) to 35.75 inches (extended). Unloaded weight with the Burris scope and mount installed is approximately 7.8 pounds. The rifle ships in a hard plastic case with one 30-round magazine, a cable lock, and the owner’s manual.

Who It Is For

The Springfield Saint 5.56mm Free Float Handguard Semi-Auto Rifle with Burris Scope and Mount is designed for the shooter who demands a turnkey precision carbine without the time or expense of sourcing and assembling separate components. It is suitable for law enforcement officers seeking a patrol-ready rifle with duty-grade optics, competitive shooters entering 3-gun or tactical rifle matches who need a reliable out-of-the-box platform, and civilian marksmen who prioritize accuracy and reliability over customization. The mid-length gas system and free float handguard make this rifle equally effective for defensive use, hog and varmint control, and intermediate-range target shooting out to 400 yards. It is not intended for shooters who prefer open sights, ultra-lightweight builds, or custom trigger upgrades, as the stock GI trigger remains standard.
