The Savage Arms MSR15 Recon 2.0 (Savage part no. 22970) is a 5.56 NATO AR-15 built as an out-of-the-box rifle with the upgrades serious shooters typically add themselves. Savage Arms pairs a carbon steel barrel with 5R rifling and a 7075 aluminum receiver, then rounds out the build with a six-position adjustable Magpul stock and a Magpul pistol grip. The rifle ships optics-ready with no fixed sights, leaving the upper clear for whatever red dot or scope a shooter prefers. This Recon 2.0 works well for competition, home defense, or a dependable range rifle straight out of the box.
