Remington 7615 Long Term Review

Here is my long term review on the Remington 7615, pump action 5.56 NATO rifle. This is an awesome rifle with a pretty unique history.
All firearms handling, shooting, and demonstration is done on my private firing range on my property. All shooting is done in a safe and controlled environment, and whilst promoting safety and responsibility.

love this little gun dude bought one about 2 years ago and instantly was impressed being an Aussie this riffle is as close as we can get to an AR15. Very effective goat hunting riffle and gives me peace of mind knowing its in the safe if things go south. Awesome fun to shoot but does get warm after pumping them rounds down range. Sweet video.

[@ArchetypeofMan]

For sure!! We don't see them here in the States very often but I love the damn thing. The muzzle flash alone is awe inspiring lol

[@papaechowhiskey]

Did you go .223 ? I’m in Aus and thinking about one as well

[@aussieaxedude154]

@@papaechowhiskey have the 7615 police in .223 and its big sister the 7600 in 308. The 7600 is excellent as well goes hard.

[@papaechowhiskey]

@@aussieaxedude154 thanks mate. 223 will fill the gap nicely for me as I’ve got 22,17HMR, 6.5, 308, 30-06, but nothing between rimfire to 6.5. Was just wondering if the 7615 was worth it, they look like fun and good for shtf

[@aussieaxedude154]

@@papaechowhiskey No worries man sounds like an impressive collection you have going. Definitely worth it in my opinion reliable little gun and a blast to shoot.

[@hotrodglock]

The 7615 was ahead of its time. Being chambered in 350 legend or 450 bushmaster would be a game changer for a sub 300 yard deer rifle

[@ArchetypeofMan]

I think the gun manufacturers underestimate how popular a pump action, quick handling rifle would be. I share your sentiment. A pump rifle in those calibers would make an awesome woods gun.

[@keiran-zz1kn]

I love mine! It's my favorite of all my guns, i just put a FAB defense folding stock on it so now I can fit it into my backpack. They are pretty common here in Australia, i paid about AUD$2000 for mine. Never had any problems with it, it runs very smooth and is very accurate. Thanks for the great video 😄

[@ArchetypeofMan]

Yours is pretty freaking sweet! You're actually the reason I've been shooting mine more. Gotta do something for the folks down under lol

[@keiran-zz1kn]

I'm looking at getting one as well,i'm in Nth Qld. That folding stock could be handy.Do you have a scope on yours? Victoria sux with that nutcase premier you have in control. Cheers!

[@keiran-zz1kn]

@@darylzampese7120 hello, yes I put a leupold vx freedom 1.5-4x20 scope on it. The folding stock is awesome, it's for a Remington 870 shotgun but with the adaptor it fits perfectly. It really is a very good rifle! It is very accurate and lightweight too. I would really recommend buying one, it's such a fun gun to shoot! Oh yeah afghanisdan andrews has destroyed victoria! He is not very popular here! Thanks and happy shooting 👍👍👍

[@electricchicken3859]

This is awesome! I'm back watching it again and again! The muzzle flash is crazy! I love taking mine to the range just for the attention I get with the massive fireballs coming out of the barrel 🤣

How good is it in terms of accuracy? 1moa average?

[@SierraBravo347]

That's a pretty Slick rifle. I've never seen one. 👍🏻 Rhanks for sharing it!

Man about 10 years ago I saw one of these in Cabela’s for around 300 used and it was in great shape but I passed on it! Still kick myself.

Good brush varmint rifle The 308 is a good brush deer rifle !

[@topsykrets2438]

That muzzle flash is fierce.

[@ArchetypeofMan]

Yes it is! Shot it at dusk once. It was pretty brutal lol

[@hojohojo674]

Regarding the Wilson Combat sights, Ive used them at 200 meters and could hit a 12 inch steel plate consistently. Ive since upgraded to a Sig Sauer Romeo 5 red dot and love it, but have left the peep sight on as back up. Great rifle. One advantage is that its not picky about ammunition ( although Ive heard some people have trouble with steel cases). I never have. The other good thing is that you can make some quiet rounds for it. I use trail boss powder and make some rounds that are about on par to a 22 subsonic if not quieter.

[@ArchetypeofMan]

Thats a really good point about manually cycled firearms in general. I plan to start reloading .223 next, so I'll definitely make some sub rounds for it. Thanks for the tip!

[@jerrystott7780]

First one of these I've seen, interesting rifle.

[@ArchetypeofMan]

They really are. I love it! I wish I remembered to get it out more.

[@jerrystott7780]

@@ArchetypeofMan I bet it's a scaled down version of the 30-06 pump.

[@ArchetypeofMan]

You know, I dont own a single 30-06? I just realized that. Guess I'll turn in my country boy card now. 😂

[@maverick3576]

They also made a police version 7600 in 308 and are a little more common

[@ArchetypeofMan]

Now i have to get one of those. 😂

[@ricjona1069]

A couple of things. My sources said that it is based on the 870 20 guage platform and as you mentioned the manual of arms is the same except for the magazine. I have ARs, as do many I know, and me and the people I have let use it, like the way it handles better than the AR and you don't lose that much on the cyclic rate of fire. One thing is that should you ever find yourself in court due to a self or home defense situation...that like, with a lever action, there is less of a 'black gun' aura about it which may bode better with a jury than an AR yet you have access to the same kind of defensive capabilities as an AR. I wish they still made them and made them in other calibers.

[@ArchetypeofMan]

You bring up valid points for sure. However, one of the beautiful things about the AR15, in my opinion, is its ability to be used one handed, if need be. Certainly not ideal, but it's there.

[@ricjona1069]

@@ArchetypeofMan @The Hungry Handgunner Though difficult and takes longer, most folks proficient with a pump shotgun, can fire it with one hand. I have not tried it with the 7615p but since the manual of arms are the same, I'm sure it can be done. From a shotgun perspective the Benelli M3 would be the best of both worlds. One handed shooting would be easier with a lever platform vs pump.

[@davidlotti5407]

Remington also made this model in 308 Winchester!

[@TheRasalhaag]

Is the shell stripper a problem on the 7615? I read it would break easily, especially if you change mags with the bolt closed and therefore must only change mags with the pump action pulled back all the way.

[@ArchetypeofMan]

This is the first I've heard of it, to be honest. I have had zero issues with mine, for what it's worth. Lol

[@daxvasquez1523]

Got mine in 2009 nice little carbine

[@8mmmauserman]

That’s a really cool gun! Are they still somewhat available?

[@ArchetypeofMan]

On the secondary market they seem to be in spurts.

[@Porty1119]

They occasionally show up on Gunbroker.

[@MrAuburn1988]

How does it run with steel cased .223? Any extraction issues after heating up? Have a bunch of Tul ammo steel cased laying around and have learned better then running through an AR. Thanks!

[@ArchetypeofMan]

I haven't noticed any issues. Admittedly, I've run maybe 100 rounds of steel through it total, but no issues with those

[@artvark956]

Does your shell stripper slide around when the bolt is in the forward position and there’s no mag in?

[@ArchetypeofMan]

Yes it does. Lol no reliability issues so far with it, but it does.

[@artvark956]

@@ArchetypeofMan good to know, thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. It’s funny since I wasn’t sure, so I disassembled mine and found a nice crack in it. Now I just need to figure out how to get the part from Australia haha

[@spacepeanut8993]

I just had flashbacks of a 1960's 30.06 pump action that SHOWED NO MERCY. 12 years old, playing it off type like you got it dialed in after 20rds...

She was already dialed in after 3rds. You know what I mean. I was a MAH-AN!!! Turns out Dad was just as bruised as I was 😂😂😂😂

[@RocksNRuts4]

25-30 yards with irons? u should be good at 300. good info n cool intro

[@BillHimmel]

Is it lighter than an AR15?

[@ArchetypeofMan]

Heavier actually lol

[@tenchraven]

If I had one, I'd never sell it. February is coming. What it does do is beg for somehing like a non-BDC lowish powered prism sight, say 3x. Run it like an occluded sight at close range when you need the speed. And bury some 20s.

[@ArchetypeofMan]

That's a good idea for sure.

[@dalekidd420]

You'd almost think that would be the perfect answer for those of us up in Canada, huh? Nope. Because the mags are AR-compatible, THEY are classified as Prohibited Devices unless pinned to 5 rounds. I really hate my government...

Ours isn't much better, brother! The Left would like nothing more than to disarm Every one...except their Security protecting THEM.

@@ArchetypeofMan Keep your fingers crossed for us. Looks like we might be heading into an election sooner than we thought. We have a new Conservative Party leader, and if we can actually win a Conservative majority government, we might just be able to make at least a few gains. I'm not gonna hold my breath on any MAJOR changes, but just reversing the bans on the AR and other semi-auto platforms unilaterally implemented by the current government, that'll be a good start...

[@ArchetypeofMan]

For sure. The war is fought in the hearts and minds, but over time, we may get there. Are you guys experiencing the same phenomenon we are with new gun owners right now? The majority of gun purchases here lately are first time buyers. That may help yalls cause some.
