Remington R-15 sold!!!

[calawahsteelie]

Well I finally did it. I bought the R-15. You guys had me twisting and turning all sorts of directions. But I went into Wholesell Sports and there she lay. A R-15 with the colaspible stock and 18" barrel. I have to tell you it was the camo finish that sold me. I would like to thank you all for your input during my quest. Thanks to ChrisB and 6x6in6 for willing to help a brother out. ChrisB I still might take you up on building one. When I got the the rifle my boys ( 9&13) were amazed how fast I could field strip it. Some things you just never forget I guess( Thanks to Uncle Sam). Any way I put a Nikon 3to9x40 with the BDC reticle on it. Should be a sweet set up. Thanks again to all who contributed.

Good gun.  My buddy just purchased the similar set up R-15 with the S.S. barrel in the triangular configuration.  He was shooting nickle sized groups at 100 yards with ball ammo.  Where did you pick this one up at??

Sweet gun What caliber?

You should do a ground up build someday. I have built both of mine and I can't imagine not having done it now. It would just not be the same buying it complete off the shelf. In fact, I still buy and install and add or subtract parts/gadgets on mine. I have a drawer full of grips, mags, sights, etc. that I have toyed with. I also did my own camo jobs on both of them. It is just too much fun.

KillBilly those are sweet rifles. I think I will build my next two. I want to get a couple for my boys just in case someone in DC gets a wild hair again.     What size are your scope mounts. I have the medium height ones and I think I need to go to the taller ones. I'm really having to lay the cheek down on the stock to get a clear sight picture.

Bowhunter I got it in .223. I don't reload (yet) and wanted to keep it affordable to shoot.

I would have to check but I believe they are only about 1/2" . I am not having sight picture problems. And I am not using conventional scopes

Yep. That is the one I was looking at. I think that one will work just fine.
