The Model 15 was intended for the boy's rifle market and was favored for use by the Boy Scouts of America. They usually tip the scales at 3.75 lbs. Technically a bolt-action, it was a simple single-shot design, one that locked by turning the bolt handle downward. Its short design allowed the bolt handle to lie directly above the trigger. This Stevens-Springfield Model 15 rifle had 24 parts in total. For a boy's rifle that meant very few to break or lose. Carlos Hathcock (One Shot, One Kill) originally learned to shoot using a Springfield Model 15. This rifle has minimal wear. Please view the pictures as they give an actual representation of firearm.
