Our Assessment: HK is well known as a high quality manufacturer, but they are better known for military and law-enforcement marketed firearms. They have had a series of sporting rifles which, while lesser known, is of as good or better quality than their other offerings. Perhaps the least well known of these is the model 300, a semi-automatic detachable magazine fed rifle chambered for .22 Magnum. This chambering allows for more power and greater range than other rimfire cartridges, making it a good rifle for both target shooting and small game. This rifle is in Very Good-plus condition with 97% of its metal finish and some light wear in the stock. It comes with a quick-detach HK scope mount and a nice Leupold 4x scope. This is a must-have for an HK collector, but it is also a great sporting rifle that will wreak havoc on the local varmints. Please see our photos and good luck!

CA Legal or CA Private Party Transferable: This rifle can be transferred in California.
