Ok I had a good look at a SAINT in my LGS today...and I have to say, against expectations, I was really impressed! BCG was excellently machined, proper staking of the gas key, appreciated the tight rattle free fit between the upper and the lower due to the set screw they put in the rear pocket, very nice metal flip up iron sight, and I liked the BCM furniture way more than I expected, especially the handgaurd nice and slim with a good texture to it. Mostly though it just felt right, good balance. Wouldn't feel the need to mod this one at all all it needs is a red dot and it's GTG. I'm gonna trade in one of my Sport IIs against it I think, need to sleep on it, but color me impressed.
