The things that most people are changing out on their $500-$600 Sport II is already done on the Saint minus the removal of the A2 sight post.

For those of us who want our guns to meet certain specs, comparing the Sport II to the Saint is apples and oranges.
The biggest difference is the twist rate. While a 1:9 (SII) compared to 1:8 (SAS) does not seem like much, it is if you primarily shoot lighter bullets. 1:9 is the maximum twist I accept in a 223.
And while I'm sure the Saint is a great deal *IF* you like the furniture it comes with.... what if you don't and would change it anyway?
