What's the advantage to this gun being pump?

Well the reps. @ remington tell me that the idea is 50% less trianing due to the fact that the 7615 has the same controls as the 870pump + a mag and mag release button for officers. Have to tell ya being train and compentent w/ARs i didnt "get it" at first either. But a newbie hit the enlighten switch for me at the range producing excellent scores and perfect hits along with rapid confidence w/ the rifle. All this while being 100% safe and w/out a 2nd explanation of operation. After talking w/ her, the only time she shot before was as a kid w/dad at some hand throw birds. Asking what kind of shot gun she use got an " I dont remember but it was alot like this rifle". Just guessing a 870 but.... Can anyone say proof-in-the-puddin.

Another possible "plus" to this gun is that it might be available in states where ARs are still banned or heavily controlled. I think I'd prefer a Mini-14, though, unless THAT were also banned for being "evil."

Also, you could hunt with it in states where semiautos are illegal for that, such as PA.

I believe that I saw them in the CDNN catalog as well.

Correctamundo! Snake45 great point man and.....

there is another huge reason the boys and girls are luving the Remington better. Mags. The Rugers are hard to find, do to the State AWB which is still impeeding our rights, in MA. The Mini14 mags that are around STINK! They are around for a reason. All mags for the AR platform except the Beta-mags are readly available. A stash of mags are very nice to have. And the Ruger rifle w/ the cool options is not a choice. Meaning the killer-psycho-assualt goodies not ok. So the target model which is ends up costing much more $. U could always get a fixed stock no goodies AR also but the pump Rem. cover the hunting too.

Hazcat I have that info you wanted. The Remington 7615 tactical is about $689 new give or take, some dealers are spiking the price. But I had the boss man look up our cost and as weird as it may sound the tac. model is the lesser $ due to the lack of peep sights. The tactical model and fixed stock come w/ rifle sites and the Ghostring sites only on fixed stock non pistol grip @ $90 more our end. Hope this helps. By-the-by i asked what you sould be looking for if you could find a used tac. and boss anwser was $550-599. So if you dont mind reg. ol' rifle sights then you will save yourself about $100. And the colapsible stock at no extra cost shops-end. Hope I helped ya man.

Tex,

You certainly did help!  Wow. thanks a bunch.

I do sorta like the peeps.  The model I really like is the Police model with fixed stock (14 in lop) peep sights and the pistol grip although I could easily live without the pistol grip.

Think I could install a peep on the rifle sight type pretty easy if I can't find one with peeps?

[texcaliber]

take a look in Brownells to see how much those Wilson peeps are going for pre gunsmithing installment charge and the factory option is well worth the extra $'s. But if it is going to get scoped or dot system, then IMHO save the coin man.
glad i could help again
