The Heckler & Koch SL7 is a roller-delayed blowback operated sporting carbine made by Heckler & Koch. It is manufactured in 7.62×51mm caliber. It was designed and marketed throughout the world as a hunting/utility rifle.

The SL7 is no longer manufactured, having been replaced by the H&K SLB 2000.

Variants

The H&K SL6 is similar in appearance to the H&K SL7, but is chambered for the 5.56×45mm caliber.

The H&K 770, a sporting rifle variant of the H&K SL7, lacked the wooden handguard of the SL7 and was equipped with a longer barrel, open rear leaf sights, and sporting-style buttstock.
