    Coffee going down.

    Didn't get any feedback yesterday on the Springfield Saint question I posed.

    No worries, guess I'll be the guinea pig.

    Figure Springfield doesn't make crap.

    I don't hear anything bad about the Saints but Springfield won't see any of my money since their involvement in the gun control scandal from a few years back. Them and Rock River Arms can wither.

    Your money so do as you wish.

    Saw your question yesterday but didn't feel the need to interject since I have no actual experience with the Saint.

    MK,

    From what I have read, it is a good rifle. I don’t own one but have been looking at them off and on for a few years. I would buy one if I were to get another black rifle. Unfortunately, I can’t say more than that.

    I’m sure that someone on the forum that doesn’t post in this thread may have one.

    MK - After what S.A. and R.R.A. did with donating to anti-gun legislation, I took them out of my inventory, sold off my personally owned pieces, and refuse to have anything to do with them. Those are not the only ones on the list, but, S.A. is one of the more well known,

    Chevy is just better than Ford.
    Look on the road and you might see you have an unpopular opinion.

    F150s are everywhere. Superduties definitely rule the roost for guys pulling anything.

    Both had their issues in 2010 and older models but they still outsold Chevy and Ram. Keep in mind that was 12 years ago too.

    But buy the brand you like. You won't be happy with any other.

    Chevy guy needs to replace a blinker bulb in their non Chevy and it's the biggest POS ever. Meanwhile they're only driving it because the best Chevy they've ever owned is getting the engine pulled apart.

    I'm a Ford man through and through even when Ford was putting the fourth engine in my 6.4l Powerstroke.

    That's just how most of us are wired. We're as bad about vehicles as we are about Sportsball or firearms.

    Put your ass in the seat it wants to be in or it will never be happy.

    BTW my Fords were never built using tax payer money or bailouts.

    In all honesty I wouldn't sell mine and I'd buy both used. That money doesn't go to them. Never new though.

    Hell I'm still wearing my Carhartts but I'll be going a different route next time.

    Been on job site for 45 minutes and it is 22 degrees with a wind chill of 15 degrees. Electricians and concrete subs should be here any time now. Got a couple of temp labor on their way to police the site which isn't to bad but our client is in town and I want the site and building as clean as possible.

    Thanks for the feedback folks.

    Wasn't aware of Springfield's stance on the gun rights issue. I'll have to look into it and do some research. As The Gipper said, trust but verify.

    It's a shame because I think they make good firearms. Fairly stupid actions on their part to isolate their customer base. Hope someone loses their job over that.

    Full disclosure, I have purchased two in the last 6 months and am happy with the quality of the firearms.

    Fixing to clock in for the day.

    Y'all have a good one.

    As a owner of a 06 Dodge pickup with the 5.9 Cummins they really aren't that great. The only highlight is the engine. I only have 118k miles and I'm really disappointed with the overall quality of the truck. When I got it it had 48k miles back in 2012.

    My old 1996 F-250 and 99 F-350 to me were built a lot better. The Powerstroke was reliable but just didn't have the guts like a Cummins. None are perfect and I don't expect them to be.
    This matches my overall impression of Rams. Great engine put in a turd.

    What's funny is Ford making money off Ram selling them.

    I don't have the 556 version. I have the saint victor 308 pistol. Build quality is great, love the balance. Still need to get it out to the range for accuracy testing with and without the can.
