HK's last hunting rifle... the SLB 2000

James said:
A couple years ago I bought an slb 2000 30 06 carbine new in the box. I scoped it up and was going to use it this year hunting whitetails. Should I shoot it or leave it unfired. Does anyone have a value on it . I bought it because I had never seen one and like the looks of it.thanks for the help

Welcome to the site. :)
Leave it unfired--- not many have sold within the past year--- in that condition, I would estimate $1,500.00-$2,000.00. ;)
Here is an interesting successor--- the SR1: :sneaky:

Thanks for the info, I was thinking the same on the value. I've done some research on it . But there's not alot of info out there. I'll probably leave it in the safe.i was thinking of trading it. its a little beefy for my liking but most well made weapons are

Hello everyone,

Have any of you experienced ejection problems with the SLB 2000+ chambered in .308 Win?

During recent testing with Geco Express .308 ammunition I fired 9 rounds. On one or two occasions the spent cartridge failed to eject and remained in the ejection port. The next live round then struck the retained case, causing a collision and a subsequent jam.

Details:
  • Rifle: SLB 2000+ (.308 Win)
  • Ammunition: Geco Express .308 Win
  • Test fire: 9 rounds fired, 1–2 failures to eject
  • Symptom: Spent case remains in ejection port; next full cartridge impacts it and weapon jams

Has anyone seen this behaviour before or can suggest likely causes / troubleshooting steps (e.g., extractor, ejector, gas system, headspace, ammo lot variation)? Any recommendations for tests or fixes would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Klavs (Latvia)

Originally, my father shot with a Sako Super Hammerhead 308, but as I mentioned, I shoot with a Geco Express. The gunsmith also says that the bullets need to be changed, but I find it very interesting that the bullets change the semi-automatic action so much.

Does anyone know where I can order spare parts for this weapon?

Also, do you completely disassemble the weapon every time to clean it after hunting?
