I love it. It shoots fantastic, and frankly no company could build that rifle today for under a grand. It really is a swiss watch of a rifle. I highly recommend grabbing one or a k31. The k31 has a little shorter bolt throw, which helps maintain cheek weld. I paid $250. You can get a k31 for $300 regularly.

The results speak for themselves too. K31, k11, and swedish mausers always win the old bolt gun military rifle divisions at camp perry.

The only complaints I have are that peep sights are vastly superior to tangent sights. There are diopters available for the swiss rifles, but they cost more than I paid for the rifle. It is also a pain to mount a scope. A swiss rifle with diopter sights would be a formidable rifle. Ive shot good groups out tp 300 yards with mine, but I am sure I could halve them with peep sights.
I liked to have one. But its just way down the list right now. Choo choo train shop needs some new tooling. Got a 9 inch South-bend I could borrow for about 6 months?
