I've considered it, but I'll likely sell her soon. Decided I'd like a USC instead for a UMP build!

Why? Anything you didn't like?
Edit: OIC you want a USC. Did you ever get around to shooting the SL8?

Very nice. I suspect she's out of my reach though.

I'd love to find a USC....GunBroker prices are still close to/over $2K. I'm just not going to pay it at this time. The SL8 was something I stumbled upon and impulse purchased. The reality is I simply don't have anywhere I can go shoot it regularly (except my home town of Bristol, TN which I get back to only once/year)....not to mention the difficulty in finding ammo right now. I've got plenty of .45 though...

BTW, NIB and considering $2250, negotiable.

I'm with you. I can't tell you how many people asked me about building them a rifle to reach out to 300-1000 yards... my first question was always "well, where are you going to shoot it?" Followed by a blank stare... then a response of "oh... good point".
I have lived in this area almost my whole life and have found you really can only be challenged with pistol or carbine shooting. Sure you can punch a one-hole group with your fancy rifle at 100 yards, but so can anyone who can sit still and practice marksmanship fundamentals. Having a $5000 long-distance rifle is cool, but plinking at 50-100 yards is like taking a Ferrari to a go-kart track.
IDPA, USPSA, IPSC, 3-gun are all things you can do around here and have a lot of fun with. I hope you can get a USC, HK carbines/subguns are a blast. I snagged a MKE AT-94 (MP5 clone) for $1400 shortly before the panic. I've seen them for. $2600+, used on gunbroker recently. Don't get ripped on your USC but remember HKs hold and often increase in value over time as they don't import a ton, and the legacy HK94/93/91 rifles are finite. I'd snag one for the best price you can find soon, or you may be looking at $3-4k USCs thinking "damn I should have gotten one when they were only $2k."

Mifflin in Pa. isnt that far away.
Sweet. I may be in the market if and when I get some follow up on someone's commitment to buy my FN PS 90 last night.... Good luck though.
