| I've been looking at those for almost a year, just what I need another rimfire. The first ones sold at list, but I see the price is coming down. My wife, yes, I'll buy it for my wife, good idea Larry, thanks.

| Three questions 1. Are the sights any good? That is, are they crude military for hitting in a general area/torso target or can you do some quality target work with them? 2. Can you mount a scope on the rifle/does it come with base and rings? 3. What about the trigger pull as it might be a heavy military pull? This really might be a very high quality gun but it might be prudent to get some gun magazine articles written and read before buying. Good luck and good shooting. |

| O.K. - but You stated you are buying this for your wife. What has she contended with and why would that with which you have contended necesarily work for her? Iron sights might work for you but what about her visual situation? H@K is high quality, I agree, yet their designs are not for everyone. After all, we are in the 21st century. It should be her decision as to what she wishes to shoot. |

Guess I should have mentioned that it was her ... who brought this H&K to my attention... not the other way around. She shoots whatever she wants... She shoots the guns I have ... which incidentally... are almost (sans the Ruger 10/22) are all military firearms. She is just as used to these as most people are. | |

| Interesting, Larry...don't you want to get one for yourself first so you can check it out before you get one for the wife? <wink with a snicker> |

| Is the barrel really that short? Isn't that really illegal? |

| Senior Member  | The gun is fantastic, I havnt bought one yet but I have handled 3 of them. The gun store I work at sells them faster than you can order them. The sights look like hk mp5 sights, infact everything looks identical to the mp5. All the customers who have bought one says they are acuratem, and yeas you can mount a scope on it. There is a rail on top of the receiver. Everything looks and feels solid with this gun, thank god the price is coming down. After I buy my next rifle, I will problably pick this one up. |

| I have to say this is a very cool rifle. If I ever see one, I might just buy it. $500 for a good 22 rifle, not a problem. But it has to be GOOOD! |
