    Opinions on R15

    How good are the Remington R15s? I'm after an AR for long range rabbits and a bit of goat shooting. I like the look of the R15 but got told they are really average and am better getting a Stag. Anyone had any experience with them? Any other suggestions?

    If that's the Remington , my mates got one he loves it,he was worried it would not be up to his tikka a accuracy but it shoots 3/4inch at. 100yds he is a fussy man about firearms and performance use it on goats and rabbits to great effect

    Mossbergs are pretty bottom of the barrel, but for your purpose they will probably be fine. I think DPT's $200 muzzle can is good. Sound suppression is excellent, gas blow back is minimal.

    Haven't heard a bad thing about the R15 apart from the usual trigger.

    Triggers are arse and i all the ones i have seen have not been threaded so you will have to get that done if you want to chuck shit on the end of it.

    DPT can suppressor is a good way to go. Get the longer can though. Two thumbs up
