This is the most incredible rifle. Heckler & Koch have a reputation, and owning this rifle, showed me it was true. When I was sighting in my scope manually, once I had it sighted in, during that first shooting I was able to get 4 inch group at 200 yards, first time out, first time with the scope. If you can still find one - get it!

Buds was quick on the shipment. Now to the rifle. In the box was the rifle, both a 5 and 20 rnd magazine, a sling, a nifty HK tool, the manual, and the scope mount but i was surprised when the "case" it was in was a foam lined cardboard box? Anyway the rifle is a superb shooter and very accurate (no compromise right?). As i write this i have probably ran 3-500 rounds through it with ZERO hiccups. The weight of the rifle doesnt seem to be that bad at all but i did attach a bipod to it for the range so i really cant comment idk? Anyway this rifle is one of my collection and instantly became my favorite although not really sure why buds raised the price on them because i wouldnt have paid what they have them listed for now (sorry buds im sure you are just passing on an increase) . I cant think of one single con so i guess im done :)

Bought this SL8-6 from...
Bought this SL8-6 from Bud's...came with a factory mag, 20rd aftermarket mag, and a low profile scope mount. ...what a fun gun to shoot. Extremely accurate with 62gr.+ ammo. I've had over 500 rounds through it without a hiccup. The other reviewer that is commenting that the rifle is heavy couldn't be farther from the truth. The rifle feels nose heavy because of the heavy-hard chrome 20" barrel, but to carry it around, it's quite light. Takes single stack mags, the H&K mags are only 10 rounds, and a but pricey...it doesn't take AR-style mags, but if you're buying H&K then you don't really care about the AR-variant stuff anyway...or you've only recently seen the light. Turns heads, people want to know what it is, and invariably how it shoots. Worth every penny.
