Said company instead bought it and I bought it from them. Also, this:
What numb nuts at what PD thought that this rifle was not legal? Good save. I hate to think of that rifle getting torched.
I love HKs but never understood why anyone would want to pay what the PSG1 cost when 4 NM M1As could be had for the same money that will shoot just as well and are not as finicky as the HK.Magnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.Comment

I could have said "1/4th of the cost and more accurate" but considering the magnitude of what you found I did not really have the heart to knock the thing.Originally posted by Alex C View Post
The HK sniper rifles had a reputation of being a fancy toy for SWAT teams with big budgets and a well deserved reputation for not being very reliable. I still love them as much as you do and am floored that you managed to get your hands on one. I have seen copies for sale before but never a factory built gun for sale in person.
Edit: I take that back. I saw one at the SHOT show when it was in Dallas but I do not believe it was for sale and list price was around 5k back when 5k was serious money.Last edited by svauto-erotic855; 02-18-2016, 12:44 AM.Magnus, I am your father.

All of the M1As above the base models come with a MOA guarantee. I believe it is .5" for the white feather model but that is the top grade version and it is about 5k. The out of the box loaded models will shoot 1.75 MOA with surplus ammo and you can drop that in half with very little effort or money. Bedding is critical and needs to be redone when accuracy begins to drop which starts around 1.2k rounds but it takes less time to rebed then it does to thoroughly clean. I would be very happy if someone would add something to the receiver that would allow them to be pillar bedded the way a bolt gun is done. For a few of my own rifles I have copied the pillar bedding as done by Accuracy Systems Inc on their mini 14 builds and the results are outstanding but it renders my rifles illegal for the type of matches that I like to shoot M1As in.Originally posted by Alex C
The HK action is reliable but there is more to a gun then just its action. Your rifle is a package and the sum total of the parts in the package is what degrades its reliability. It has a reputation of feeling like you are shooting a 2x6 and it must be held the way HK wanted it held or the a accuracy will be effected. Go head to head against a match grade M1A at 800-1000 meters and you will experience the limitations of the package that HK provided; at 600 meters you will beat a top grade M1A by a small margin.
I still love your new gun.Last edited by svauto-erotic855; 02-18-2016, 08:12 AM.Magnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.Comment

FWIW, I'm much more impressed with it than I thought I would be, the fit is good, the trigger is great. I ordered a 19rd cz75 mag for it too.Originally posted by helosailor View Post
