In a little bind

[Keithford]

I’ve been looking at both the iwi Zion and the Springfield saint victor for a little while now, I know both guns are quite well just been having a hard time deciding on which one to go with so which one should I go with?

 

[HansGruber]

They’re both high-lower tier/low mid-tier rifles…quality-wise, it’s a wash.

I don’t know what IWI’s customer support is, but Springfield’s are top notch…that might sway my decision.

Saint Victor has my vote.

Saint Victor

Well, this being a SA forum I should vote for the Saint. I am an IWI fan boy though so I vote Zion.

By the way, I never had issues but I had questions. IWI answers their emails in a friendly, helpful and prompt manner.

Zion 15's are quite rare around me...don't see them very often. Saints are everywhere...

Can definitely agree with you

I’ve not ran across a single Zion 15 besides there 12.5 inch barrel but I’m looking for the full-size 16 inch barrel

Parts availability should be a huge factor, No parts and it's a club.

Same parts as any other AR brother.

I've seen them at Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore in the $800 range.

Springfield for sure!

Since the poll has no "neither" choice I'll vote "neither", but it's your $$ so do what meets your needs.

"Neither" = Meh
/me(h)/

INFORMAL
exclamation

1. expressing a lack of interest or enthusiasm.
   "Meh. I'm not impressed so far"

adjective

1. uninspiring; unexceptional.
   "a lot of his movies are … meh"

Any way you slice it, a picture is worth a thousand words:

I’m with you.

At the $800 range…I’m building. Should be able to make a pretty decent rifle with a decent optic for that price.

And, you will have more choices for barrel lengths.

I've built better ARs for the same prices as both. Both are quite pedestrian.

There are so many "cookie-cutter" ARs out there that they're almost indistinguishable.
