Seems that HK is listening to their customers drool over the G28. Except, the plan is to just dress up a standard MR762 instead actually import the G28.
What are they dressing it up with in order to call it the MR762A1 LRP (http://gunsandtactics.com/hk-adds-mr762a1-long-rifle-package-lrp-for-2013)? A Leupold 3-9x40 VX-R scope, for starters. Yeah. Somewhat cheesy scope for something that's suppose to be a special package.
But it gets worse, because it's not just cheesy; it's outright ridiculous at a $6,895 list price.
I'm an admitted H&K fanboy. My fascination with HK started as a child, and not just from cool pictures taken by Ichiro Nagata...I was given a Mauser target rifle by a WWII vet, and fell in love with it. Being that HK has more in common with the original Mauser company than modern day Mauser, it was natural for me to fall under the evil Teutonic spell. But this is just stupid. I can see $6,895 if it was an actual G28...and although no better than a Larue OBR, the fact that it's a G28 (read: collector item) would at least somewhat justify the price.
If H&K is willing to put together such a cheesy package playing off their newest creation for the Bundeswehr, what's next?
