It's a great rifle, but not worth $3000, a KAC SR15 is a much better rifle, the only thing the G36 has is it's reliability over practically everything else. I wish HK would get KAC to help redesign the rifle with a new body. The rifle is awesome but it's made for mass prediction and you cannot tailor it the way you want for the individual, the pistol grip and sight over bore are a no go for me...I would still love one, but there are way to many other better options out there like the MR223 in either 14.5,16.5 barrel...if your heart is set on HK that is...
I know KAC can fix that rifle though....
