Model R-15 VTR™ Byron South Edition

We created an unrivaled combination of precision accuracy, blazing-fast follow-ups and hunt-specific features. For peak accuracy, the Byron South Edition R-15 is equipped with a fast handling, fluted 18" ChroMoly steel barrel with recessed crown. It’s free-floated within the Yankee Hill Customizable free float 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.

And two stage competition trigger is as clean breaking as they come. The 223 Remington chambering 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 black Ergo Ambi-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.
 

 

“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.”
