That's a smokin deal on a rifle that's deadly accurate.
Buy it
Buy it
They are a handy little rifle and don't shoot too bad, though the trigger is hopeless and little you can do about it. That price is WAY below dealer cost. If you are correct, it must be a mis-mark and you'd better jump on it--if not too late already. Even if you don't want it, you should be able to make $150 on it fast & easily.

Buy It, BTW they still have a little room. A local shop in FL had them for $369.00 Last month. Still a good deal at $500.00
Something is fishy here boys. Are we sure we're talking Remington 7615, pump action rifle in .223? I just checked 3 different dealer catalogs and dealer cost is $680 to $725, depending on model. How can these retailers be selling them at $500? Or $369? And I'm not talking minor distributors regarding these prices, but major US distributors. What gives? Somehow, somewhere, I smell a rat!!

So how many police departments have you seen out there issuing these rifles?
My guess is ... not many.
The M4 bug has gone way beyond SWAT use.
Their dumping inventory that they can't move any other way.

In some states you can't buy a normal AR. In others you can't hunt with a semi auto. Plus the 7615 is actually pretty fun to play with.
Boys, I don't question what you are saying about the prices you've seen, I just don't savvy when I know the dealer cost. If we're on the same gun, somebody is taking a hell of a beating!!! Maybeso they aren't popular. I've only sold one, and since that was to a friend, I got to shoot it a lot. Pretty decent, fun. Accounted for a bunch of jack rabbits and a couple coyotes. I haven't had any other inquiries on them. I'lll make it a point not to tell him of the prices you have reported! If I could get one for $370, I believe I'd own one myself!
It's an 870 trigger, right?
YUCK!!!
The 870, 1100, et al. balance wonderfully, but that trigger has made me leave them in the safe.
But that said, there are trapshooters who love the 870, and they have some really nice triggers. They can be modified.
Indeed, it's an 870 trigger, which even unmodified is really quite fine on a shotgun, but not so nice on a rifle! You can improve it some, but not a lot. It will never be a nice, crisp, light trigger like one likes on a good rifle, but it's not the end of the world, either.

Don't bash Grice's too much for that comment. It sounds bad, but only if you missed that he's in PA where semi-auto rifles are not allowed for hunting.
Stupid rule...truly, truly stupid, but that hasn't stopped a legislator yet.
So Grice's is speaking the truth. Here's a rifle that has some similarities to an AR-15 (assault rifle is perhaps an unfortunate choice, but up in Clearfield that isn't a term folks get worked up over!
) and it's legal to hunt with.-Sam
When Remington first introduced this rifle it was extremely overpriced. I have seen a lot of them selling for around $450-$500 the last few months. My guess is that Remington could not sell them for basically the same price as an AR and have reduced the price to a reasonable level.

The one's I saw for $369.00 were all lightly used police trade in's. They were on sale before the election & the had a bunch of them.

I've always liked this rifle idea. Super reliable in all conditions, super fast, high quality, good sights, short & handy, and takes cheap plentiful mags.
So that's a good price; I'd jump on that.

I bought one when they first came out. Mine cost me $650. The price that you found is very good.
Here's what I like about this rifle. First it is a very natural pointer for me. You just raise it up and its pointing at what you want to hit. My nylon 66 was the only gun that pointed better.
It doesn't throw my brass all over the place. I handload and to me thats important. It also has a 1/9 twist so heavier bullets can be used. This will make it a fair choice for smaller whitetails if you want.
It takes formally cheap magazines. Even if they cost a little more now it still isn't that much. I also have a Williams peep and a scope base. I just like the rifle sights it came with.
The accuracy has to be seen to be apreciated. Mine will shoot around 1" groups all day.
I would much rather have this rifle than a Siaga. I have two new mini-14s and wont sell them. I have no plans to sell this rifle either. If the rumors about the minis accuracy scare you off then get the Remington. The new 580 series shoot very well by the way.
The one thing I didn't like about my rifle was the length of pull. I should have got the youth stock. The 14" pull is longer than I like on a rifle. It is made worse with the sticky rubber butt pad that grabs your clothes when raising the rifle.
Get it. You wont regret it.
