Also, strictly speaking, the K31 isn't a Schmidt Rubin. Bolts are very different.

That may well have been my one, if you had the STG44 clone
Yep that was me Kenny. Thanks again for the shoot, although it may not do my finances any good in the long term!!

Thanks again for the advice (and offers). I am holding back for now but definitely one to consider soon.

Hey Brunel;

Just to wet your appetite a bit more. I took my K31 out for an airing to Warcop last Saturday and a good day was had all round. Firing from C8 range, I was consistently putting rounds onto a 12 inch boulder at 397 yards (lazered). Okay, so that doesn't sound like the most accurate shooting in the world but it was from an unsupported sitting position via a 70 year-old rifle :good:
Needless to say, I was happy enough with that. Ammo was a mixture of PPU and my own reloads, all of which performed flawlessly. Another of the chaps on the firing line also had a rather nice K31 and he was also hitting the same boulder with monotonous regularity.
I've actually heard these Swiss rifles described as 'target rifles disguised as battle rifles'. My experiences so far would support that statement and I am seriously glad that I managed to get my hands on one. It's a keeper!
