Savage MSR15 Recon 2.0

The Savage MSR 15 Recon impresses with its standard features that make it a fully-fledged Mil-Spec M4 clone.
The convincing trigger with nickel-boron coating achieves incredible results in conjunction with the free-floating handguard and the improved Savage barrel. The 5R rifling and Melonite QPQ coating ensure consistent, precise performance under all conditions. The specially forged lower, adjustable Magpul stock, and pistol grip give the Recon a look that stands out from the crowd.

The Receiver and Stock
The receivers are made from a high-strength aluminum-zinc alloy, comparable in properties to most steels. The upper features a continuous Picatinny rail according to Mil-STD-1913 without cant. On the right side of the receiver, you will find the magazine release within ergonomic reach of the index finger, allowing the shooter to keep their firing hand on the grip. The two-position safety operates in accordance with AR15 standards.

The free-floating handguard from M-Lok is equipped with a continuous Picatinny rail according to MIL-STD 1913. Savage installs a retractable Blackhawk stock. The adjustable support can be locked in 6 positions and can be extended by a total of 82 mm in length, ending with a rubber buffer approximately 25 mm thick. Here too, the shooter can take advantage of the extensive accessory market thanks to the AR-standard interface.

Gas System
The automatic cycling process occurs traditionally via direct gas impingement. For precision, direct gas impingement is beneficial as it does not introduce additional mechanical parts that cause movement.

Noteworthy is the adjustable gas block of the Savage MSR 15. The use of a suppressor is significantly simplified by this feature. The ability to easily regulate gas pressure prevents increased back pressure and bolt bounce.

Bolt and Trigger
The direct gas piston locks via a rotating bolt with seven locking lugs. A strong extractor claw is located in the bolt head. Two pins ensure the secure ejection of fired cartridge cases.

The replaceable trigger comes from the US supplier Blackhawk and breaks at exactly 1,600 g. Thanks to chemical surface treatment, the mechanical elements have a coating of nickel and boron. This results in a very hard, smooth surface, ensuring precise repeatability of the trigger characteristics.

The Barrel
The black 16.75-inch precision barrel made of carbon steel is fluted about two-thirds from the chamber.

Optimal heat dissipation is achieved through the button-rifled and perfectly centered barrel, which improves precision and rigidity, ensuring consistent impact patterns even during high rates of fire. The special feature of the barrel is its groove-field profile. Savage relies on barrels from Obermeyer Rifled Barrels. They feature the profile known as "5-R Rifling." With 5 grooves and beveled field edges, the barrels allow for an even faster twist with minimal wear. The muzzle ends with a ½‘‘x28 UNEF thread, which standardly accommodates a two-chamber muzzle brake. It has two impact surfaces that divert gas pressure to the side and upward, minimizing recoil and muzzle rise.
