This past weekend I was given a Hechler and Koch HK 630 .223 rifle. It is new and has never been fired - but don't have box and there are 2 scratches on the stock.
I've done some research on the internet and it appears to be a nice gun. I've been wanting a .223 semi-auto and I do not really want an AR so I am happy with it.
The problem is that is has a very odd scope mount and the mount itself - an HK05 - is basically impossible to find and supposedly very expensive - like $400 for the mount. There are iron sights on the gun but I really want a scope.
The other problem is that it only has a 4 shot magazine. There is a 10 shot magazine available too, but like the scope mount is very difficult to find.
Best I can tell, this gun has not been imported to the US since the 1980's.
So my questions are:
1. Is anyone familiar with this gun? If so, is it a good long range gun? Say 300 yards for prairie dogs?
2. Anyone have any idea about where I could find a scope mount and/or magazine?
I am considering selling it and buying a different .223 if I can't find scope or magazine - but am trying to find out more about since, from what I have read, it appears to be pretty nice.
Thanks.
