Remington 715 Sportsman

The Remington 715 Sportsman was manufactured for only one year - 2008. The rifle starts with an action based on the proven Model 710. With three locking lugs and the famous “three rings of steel” design, based on the Model 700, the Model 715 Sportsman all-steel receiver is designed to handle big magnum calibers while feeding, extracting and ejecting cartridges efficiently with its easy camming, 60 degree bolt throw. A rifle’s barrel is at the heart of accuracy, and the Remington Model 715 is built around a six groove, button-rifled barrel. Barrel construction starts with ordnance-grade steel blank and is expertly crafted while undergoing numerous quality-control checks. Standard short and long action offerings feature a 22 inch barrel length, magnum versions have a 24-inch barrel and the Youth version has a 20-inch barrel. All feature matte black finish on both receiver and barrel. The action is fed by a detachable box magazine with updated magazine latch that holds four standard cartridges or three magnum cartridges. A convenient, one piece Weaver-style base is factory installed for ease of scope mounting. Completing this well-equipped rifle is an ergonomically-contoured, black synthetic stock with raised cheek piece and integral sling swivel studs. The Youth version with shorter 12 1/8-inch length of pull provides smaller stature or young shooters awell balanced, easy-handling alternative to full-size, standard LOP rifles. Chambered in the lower-recoiling, yet versatile 243 Win, this centerfire provides deer-sized game performance in a smaller, more compact platform.
