Picked up my SLB2000 today. I should have picked it up on Sept 2, but the paperwork got botched somehow. I had my FFL send papers again and the gun finally shipped on Sept 11. Finally arrived today 9/16 
About 
time.
Pro's:
Light. I like the trigger. I haven't dry-fired it much but it feels more like a light take-up and a surprise soft break. I'm no mechanical expert so I can be describing it all wrong. The mag release rules. It's set up like the HK pistols, an ambidextrous paddle. The bolt release is right over the right side of the magazine and can be thumbed off. I haven't tried it with a round in the mag but I imagine it will be fast to manipulate. The rear grip is at a steep angle and with my paw on the magazine as a foregrip, the rifle can be pulled in tight to the shoulder. I really like the ergonomics of the gun.
Cons:
The sights. Post and notch, like a pistol and short sight radius. The HK diopter sights would have been too much of a good thing, but I wish it had it. I have problems seeing the front sight, but I am due for an eye exam. That's what I get for playing with computers since I was 3 years old. The rifle requires tools for disassembly. The allens that take the forend off are a different size than the ones that remove the trigger group. My set doesn't have the right size to remove the trigger group so I haven't even taken it apart to clean it yet. I don't like how not only one, but two sized allens are required to take it down...VERY tacky.
Thoughts:
So far I like the ergonomics of the gun. I haven't mounted the scope because I couldn't take the gun apart yet, and the ARMS mounts that I ordered don't seem to fit on the mount. If you don't like the plasticky, sterile feel of the USPs, you won't like this gun. I wish it came with a polygonal barrel. I think it's a lands and grooves barrel. Not sure why, other than it's an HK.
More when I get to shoot it which won't happen until next friday. I'll post pics if I get home before sundown tomorrow.
