The New Remington R-15 VTR modular repeating rifles...

Has anyone seen this new rifle put out by Remington??? Looks like an AR style predator/varmint gun. They just might be on to something with this one...

A jazzed-up Bushmaster with some slick spin and a cutesy name - it's the new "Zumbo-Friendly" model to placate and draw the Fudds into the AR game.
If it sells, all the better.
But, it's an expensive entry into an already flooded market.

I didn't know this but I saw a Bushy that looked EXACTLY like one of these at the range today, it was for sale like 1100 bones. I thought it was one of these remingtons I keep hearing about but I looked and sure enough theres a snake on the lower.

I'd take a DPMS or Bushmaster anyday, over that Remmy. There is something about Remington making an AR that just doesn't fit right.

I agree with cuzzin Midas a Remtom AR 15 hummm.. lets hope it's a good one anyway...A.H

Remington and Bushmaster are now under the same company. These Remington ARs are made by Bushmaster with Remington defined options. So basically if you want a camo free floated AR made by Bushmaster, here you go. The prices may not be all that horrible for the options IF those are the options you want.

I don't question the quality of the rifle - I'm sure it's a very nice AR knockoff. BUT . . . can the market support yet another AR, when it's become almost a cottage industry to build them? These companies are, these days, run by the bean counters - I can't see this entry generating enough beans to keep it in production long.

What I would really hate to see, would be perhaps Bushmaster being absorbed into Remington, losing their own identity. Corporations do that too often!

The new Remington is a neat, but not really
original, idea. I cannot understand why it is is 204 caliber rather than the new Remington cartridge that is supposed to fall between the 223 and the 308. That would be a sales pickup for their new cartridge.

I think the 6.8 is on the horizon.

Anyone taken one of these for a run yet? I'm looking at one for pest control work as we can't get much in the way of semi autos over here.

its a bushmaster varmint rifle with the remington named stamped on it +some ugly cammo. it would work well for pest control.

wirehunt · 06-14-2008, 01:11 AM

Any idea how they go with bullets in the 50-55 grain weight range?

I like it! I seen it in my remington catalog.
