Analysis

The Model 215S offered greater trigger and ergonomic customization than the base Model 215 while maintaining the same functional accuracy and reliability with standard-velocity .22 LR ammunition. It served as a more affordable alternative to the Model 208S for competitive shooters who required advanced adjustability without the higher level of external finishing found on the premium models. Production ended in the late 1990s to early 2000s, and replacement parts have since become limited in availability. It holds ongoing interest among collectors and bullseye shooters for its mechanical consistency and position as a cost-effective entry into the later International series configurations.
