Looking forward to it arriving. Does it accept QD mounts for a sling? Best options for scopes in the $200 to $300 range? Appreciate the thoughts.

There are QD mounting holes on the 15T/15FT rail at L37, L21, R37, & R21. You will need to add a sling plate to the receiver and or the stock.

I added a Troy mount to the end plate of the receiver and a Magpul MOE fixed stock with QD inserts.

As mentioned above, you'll have to get an endplate.. I went with the Magpul QD endplate on my MOE MID.. Partially OCD to make it "flow" partially just thought it had a better design as it's a little more reinforced than some of the others out there..

Welcome to the 15T Club!

i LOVE mine. have added a Bushnell TR25 red dot and a magnifier.
put a Magpul CTR stock on it and am getting a QD plate for my Magpul sling. will be able to go two point to single point with the Magpul adapter.

IMHO, the 15T is right in the middle and has most of the basics that most want.

In all fairness, he might have it staked on the other side that you can't see. Still, some swear by staking, others not so much. I personally staked mine on my .300blk build and my Sport was staked from the factory.

Great minds think alike:
TRS-25 (no magnifier)
CTR Stock
Magpul ASAP

It is staked, not shown in the picture. Even if it wasn't, the stock captures the nut.
