I believe there are two levels of rifles that enter our lives. The first is usually a bare bones gun that we are going to “fix up”. It serves us well, but somewhere in the back of our minds, we crave something more. A rifle that has everything we need. It has all the improvements we would do ourselves and is suppressor-ready. More importantly than it is sexy. Yes, I said it because it’s true, and you know it. Well, my friends, that rifle exists. I present to you the Watchtower RAIDER15 SD
