Marketed at a competitively low price, it is considered to be a budget or entry level rifle designed for American consumers optimized for home defense or competition, usually chambered in 5.56/.223 and .300 Blackout.[1][2][3]
The RF-15 is considered a competitor to other affordable AR-15-style platforms on the civilian market along with the Hi-Point HP-15 and the Palmetto State Armory PA-15.[4][5]
