Springfield Armory introduced its first AR, the Saint, on Nov. 1, 2016. American Rifleman's Joe Kurtenbach attended the launch event for the rifle in Las Vegas, Nev., where, in between knocking down targets and firing thousands of rounds downrange, he caught up with Springfield's Social Media Coordinator Stefany Reese to chat about guns, Legacy and the Saint. Watch it here.
