While I was searching, I found several dealers including AOA , with sale prices of 1400. Of course they're out of stock. 1900 is not what I call a sale guys!
I had never priced them seriously. However I've been was watching them for some time. (25 cal) The consensus, I gather, is that virtually every one likes or loves the gun. Many say it is a great hunter but not 1st class target accurate. Now, don't holler at me. I'm just watching you tube reviews.
I'd welcome any input. It would take real convincing to drive me back into the 2 grand air market. I've seen the group shots and from them, I'd have to agree. Not target gun. Then comes longevity. No one has brought that up. Self service?

@Keyman62421 The following thread was created for a person in your position.


You should find some answers here. Several members that own or have owned them have shared their experiences in the thread.
 
@Keyman62421 as mentioned New England Airguns has them and they also have a used one for $1200. That may not sound like a great deal because you see them selling for that on AGN classifieds but this one is dealer certified.

I have a Huben in .22 and do love it, but I agree that it is not a "target gun." The accuracy is more than "good enough" for hunting, pesting, and shooting spinners and such, but it simply can't equal my .22 Air Ranger in terms of out right accuracy on paper (or my purpose built LW barreled benchrest bottle fed M-Rod). I think two things limit it from ever doing that: form factor (bullpups are simply not as stable on the bench as a traditional rifle) and the fact that it shoots the ammo out of the magazine (leading to multiple mag/barrel interface conditions). That said, it can easily put all 19 shots into an inch at 50ish yards - it's just that the Air Ranger and other "target guns" can do better. And the Air Ranger is simply easier to shoot accurately too, mostly from ergonomics.

But here is the important question: which rifle do I grab the most to shoot? The Huben wins that one hands down over all others. I did post a full mag group picture and thoughts on it in the "all things Huben" thread and it is on page 2 . . .

Spot on, while I used my .25 Huben at the Northeast Airgun Classic and made it to finals scoring a best of 193, the rifle just does not have the repeatable pin point accuracy that other rifles do. I dumped a full mag MOA at 100 but that was 1 out of every 5 or 6 mags, the others would be 1.25-2" groups, still highly respectable for a pellet slinging semi auto bullpup.
 
Huben K-1 in my opinion is the Best hunting rifle. I did say hunting rifle. Now will they paper punch one hole groups at 40yds "no" they are not intended to do that. They are a Hunting rifle. Now, are they accurate they will hold there own up against many airguns out there. Are they gonna shoot like a AZ Tuned Rapid, Daystate, or FX Crown? No. Will they print 10 shots in a dime at 40yds yes. Will they print 3 or 4 in one hole yes! Accuracy is in the eye of the beholder, if its go enough to suit your needs. Mine, YES!

This is why I like them so much-
They sling well walking around the woods.
The Ergonomics are Great!
Easy to adjust for different types of pellets and slugs. 340fps with a 14.3, 900fps with 18gr, 960fps with 25gr pellet or 960fps with a 27.5gr slugs or 1030fps with 34gr slug. Just by adjust Reg. and dial.
Extremely quiet for the amount of power that they produce, with a factory shroud.
High shot count very efficient. Can get 700 plus shots shooting 14.3 Crossman at 340fps per fill. Can get 70 + shots at 960fps.
Nice trigger for a semi auto, adjustable.
It is a very nice rifle.
I have several posts about them.
