.223 itch
« on: June 04, 2007, 09:29:58 PM »
I have the .223 itch!

But like Michael I'm also a bit of a contrarian.  I served from 73 to 83 so I have have many experiences with the M16/Ar-15.  It is a good weapon and fits me well, BUT everyone and his mother has one.

So I have been searching for something 'different'.  Came across the BLR in .223 - not bad.  Then I found something that is (to me) UBER COOL.

The Remington 7615 Tactical pump .223.  Michael has a blog on it from July 17 2005 but it seems it was only for Police.  Anyone know if they are for sale to the peasants (OOPS I meant public)?  Anyone have any other cool .223 guns?

Gotta scratch that itch!

I'm pretty sure it is, Haz. I shot one at Gunstock a few years ago when they were just being introduced and quite liked it.

The previous owner bought it for coyoties and found a different gun he wanted more. So yes u can have and yes they are in stores not just magizines.

ahhh the price of the 7615 used at our shop is $650. You are prob. looking at high $7's maybe even low $8's new depending on the furniture setup (camo, black, ect.) and the % of the price increase that is comming.
By the way the $ is alot better then a good ARs in my state so i would say scratch that itch if its in your budget man.
Hope this helps man.

P.S. 7615 would look Very Cool w/ a Beta-mag...... IMHO ;D

I'm really thinking hard on this one!  An EBR pump gun!  That should spin some heads.

To be honest, that gun has left me less than impressed. Mediocre accuracy, wannabe looks, and the price tag of an entry-level AR? Thanks, I'll pass.
