Anybody have the Saint? Shot one? Pros? Cons?

The only issue I've heard of for the Saint is that the front handguard can melt if it gets too hot.

That was only one hit I got from this search: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=c ... nt+melting

IMO, what you're asking for is way too open-ended. There are far too many options out there for anyone to give you any solid advice.

Why don't you go to various gun stores. Look at & handle as many rifles as you can. Take note of the make and model of any that interest you and come back here to post those.

With more specific questions, someone here will be able to give you more solid input.

Besides, you get to go out & handle guns. Where's the downside?
