We created an unrivaled
combination of precision accuracy,
blazing-fast follow-ups and hunt-specific
features. The new R-15 VTR™ modular
repeating rifle was born of the most
advanced design aspects of AR-15-style
rifles available today with a strong
emphasis on optimizing form and
functionality for the modern predator
aficionado. The results are astounding –
with very serious implications for every
coyote, fox or bobcat that crosses its
path.
For peak accuracy, the R-15’s 0.680" OD
barrel is precision-crafted from ChroMoly
steel. It’s free-floated within the
machined-aluminum fore-end tube and given a
recessed hunting crown to ensure gasses
escape evenly around the bullet for the
ultimate in shot-to-shot consistency. Six
longitudinal flutes forward of the gas block
promote rapid barrel cooling and increase
rigidity while reducing weight, further
contributing to this rifle’s ability to
print tiny clusters at an incredible pace.

“I hunt predators for a
living and I’m always looking for the very best
equipment to help me do my job more effectively. Over
the last several years I’ve come to the conclusion that
the AR-15 platform is ideally suited to this type
hunting. Remington’s new R-15 takes this design to a new
level by starting from the basic design and then
customizing the features to best suit us predator
hunters. There are lots of rifles that will work for a
predator hunter but none are better than Remington’s new
R-15. I’m aware that’s a pretty bold statement but how
could it possibly be any better? The R-15 is very
accurate, reliable, offers fast follow up shots for when
multiples respond, light enough to carry all day, and
the pistol grip design make it very comfortable to use
in shooting sticks.”
And our new hunting single-stage trigger design is as cleanbreaking
as they come. Whether you choose the 223 Remington or 204 Ruger
version, the semi-automatic gas action all but eliminates muzzle
jump and recoil so your target remains in the crosshairs. And when
it’s time to add optics, the receiver-length Picatinny rail makes it
a rock-solid cinch.
Control comes naturally with the ergonomic
pistol grip and lightweight overall design
of the R-15. Its uppers and lowers are
machined from aluminum forgings for
featherweight durability, and the fore-end
tube is drilled and tapped for accessory
rails. This new family of firearms consists
of three models. Each was designed with
input from leading predator authorities and
decked in the ultra-effective Advantage®
MAX-1 HD™ camouflage to blend with sage,
open country and a multitude of hunting
terrains. All come with five-round magazines
and are compatible with all aftermarket
AR-15 magazines and other accessories.
The R-15 VTR Predator Rifle has a 22" barrel
with a fixed stock and pistol grip. At 7 3/4
lbs, it’s extremely stable – the best choice
for long shots. Our R-15 VTR Predator
Carbine and R-15 Predator Carbine CS*
(Collapsible Stock) handle like lightning
with their 18" barrels and weigh a mere 6
3/4 lbs. – perfect for high-speed hunting
scenarios. The Predator Carbine CS features
a telescoping stock with a fully adjustable
length of pull for a custom fit.
