This rifle, designed to comply with U.S. laws and import regulations, was a bit of a compromise when it was first released in 1998, but over time, has developed a cult following of its own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The features, or rather, lack of features, will make this popular with shooters living in restricted markets, but there are plenty of H&amp;K fans everywhere who will happily add a new SL8 to their collection. H&amp;K is launching the SL8 in two versions, a standard model and a California-compliant one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As configured, the SL8 is set up for precision target shooting. It has a 20.8-inch barrel with a recessed target crown with a 1-in-7 twist for use with long and low-drag projectiles. The rifle is marked .223 Remington but it will also run 5.56 NATO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The free-floating bull barrel is cold hammer-forged with a chrome-lined bore. It uses the proven G36 operating system, a short-stroke gas piston action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" title=\"Heckler &amp; Koch SL8 Making a Comeback\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sl8-left-and-right-hk.jpg\" alt=\"Heckler &amp; Koch SL8 Making a Comeback\" class=\"wp-image-148811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sl8-left-and-right-hk.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sl8-left-and-right-hk-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sl8-left-and-right-hk-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sl8-left-and-right-hk-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>A &#8220;compliant&#8221; rifle, the SL8 is also used as a platform for other rifles. (<em>Photo: H&amp;K<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The new SL8 comes with all-black furniture unlike the original two-tone with grey and has red and white markings. It&#8217;s fully ambidextrous with a top-mounted charging handle that can be used as a forward assist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few small changes from the original American imports, including a ventilated forend, a MIL-SPEC rail for optics, and repositioned sling mounts. But it does come with a 4.5-pound match trigger and adjustable stock with a cheekpiece and buttpad spacers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its heavy target barrel, the SL8 tips the scales at 8.6 pounds unloaded and measures in at just under 39 inches long. It feeds from 10-round SL8-specific magazines and ships with two mags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/heckler-koch-sp5l-now-shipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"heckler-koch-sl8-making-a-comeback\" title=\"Heckler &amp; Koch SL8 Making a Comeback\">Heckler &amp; Koch Long SP5L Now Shipping!<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It might seem odd for H&amp;K to bring back the SL8, even for limited markets, but it also opens the door for new G36 conversions.
