There is a long history of sub-caliber training rifles—rifles that allowed for low recoil and reduced-range training. Given the cost of centerfire ammunition, the allure of .22 LR as a training option should be obvious. And to fill that niche, Heckler & Koch (HK) has a gem. The manufacturer has taken its …
