Anyone own one of these ?

[Water Rat]

It's a Remington R-15. I'm thinking on purchasing one.  Sure is heavy though.

[TreeGuy]

Nicer rigs out there for less money. Are you set on that gun or getting a deal ?

I've been eye balling some ARish style platforms with a bolt action lately.

The Rem is an ar platform. Bolts are a whole nother world...

Niagara county

What are you looking to do with it ? I have shot the rem and wasn't really impressed. It's "cool" that rem is in the ar platform but like I said, so many other options out there for less money.


Make the trip to DD's ranch in Alden. All safe act legal and typically has alot in stock. If not he can get anything available.

If I was gonna get another AR i would get a DPMS....Thats what they do AR rifles...I also own a BushMaster which is very good.....Not sure I would go Remington...But thats just me..

[TreeGuy]

I own a DPMS. Sweet 16. Did lots and lots of research and was my best bang for my buck. Did a 2stage "varmint" trigger from rock River (2.5#) and she's a shooter. I'll bet it was 500$ less than the rem, with the trigger job.

If I bought another, it would be rock river. Don't forget the other option to build your own, where you can grab parts from any manufacturer and do it your way 100%

The Super Bull for me.....Great rifle...

[TreeGuy]

No more super bulls. They are a heavy beast but don't move after trigger pull. Cool rig ! Lmk if you ever want to part with it....lol

Build one the way you want it, I would build it light weight, bull barrels are too heavy to haul around in the woods, I know

[TACC]

If you are using it for hunting only, get the lightest setup you can.

1. There is no recoil on a 223/556.
2. The amount of shots you will be taking are less than 5 at a time.
3. When you bring it in the woods, the extra 2 pounds makes a difference for carrying it around.
4. With the amount of good barrels around, they are a dime dozen if you are going to make if a DIY project.
5. The major investment should be in the glass going on top of it.

Just my opinions.

I use mine for fur. When the need for follow ups comes,I appreciate the steadiness of the bull, to me it's worth the extra couple pounds to carry. Def agree on the glass too, most AR have the ability to drive tacks, but without good glass your wasting potential. I had a cheap scope to get me by when I first bought my rifle, it did the job but when I put the vortex on I went from 3" groups at 100 to 1" groups.

Bushmaster is owned by remington. Look into PSA uppers, I'm planning 5.56, 300 AAC, and .308 builds all either PSA or Ground Zero Precision. RIght now it looks like 16" barrel probably stainless fluted for the 5.56, and 18" for the 300 AAC and .308 might do 20" for the .308 haven't completely decided.

I want to build a coyote rig. Was thinking of a bolt action, so that I could have all the bells and whistles, that the Safe Act will not allow on an AR.

You can have all the bells and whistles with a fixed mag.

I have a neutered AR in 5.56mm that has a spur instead of a pistol grip. No features of any kind. And now it sucks to shoot. Might go to a Thordsen stock instead on that one.

I'm thinking of going the fixed mag route for a new .308/7.62 that would be an option for big game. I made the fatal mistake of fondling a Bushmaster AR-10 version at Seneca Gun Sports last fall and it has me thinking...

If you are buying, Id go with DPMS, Rock River or Stag. Or just build what you want. AllStar Tactical makes awesome Uppers and Lowers, both forged and billet, you just have to jump on them when they are in stock. If you are in the Rochester area, they are located right on Ridgeway Ave.

Just get one of these and add all of the accessories you want while you tell Cuomo to go pound sand

I might have used their stuff in the past, before my tragic boating accident of 2013

Have you seen the "Patriot pin"? Makes it real easy to operate.

[Grizz1219]

I built an AR with a Stag upper, 24" heavy barrel... Still waiting to afford the glass to put on it to start shooting it...
