A fine looking rifle indeed, I am always drawn to these when I see them in the flesh. So far I have managed to resist the temptation (So many rifles, so little time) How does it shoot for you?

Ah and welcome to the forum

Idge, welcome to the forum.

Great first post!

Keep them coming :P

thanks so much for the warm welcome , and to your question ovenpaa its a great shooter i have even had hits on target out to 1000 yards but that was a mixture of luck on the day , with it being a carbine i think its best used within 600 yards .

and i have to say with enough practice with the stripper clips i think these can be shot faster than enfields :)

Well done for getting it out to 1000, I really feel such rifles should be used at 600-1000 yards given the chance and yes maybe some luck is needed but also the confidence to believe in it as well. I have a P14 that first time out was at 800 yards and it was on the frame.

The cycling of the action is certainly fast on the K11 not sure what they are like with stripper clips though.

This is the fine verniers sight on it, you can just see the adjusting screw top right. I must have pictures of the rest of it somewhere....

It has a brindles trigger box, 'sniper' cheek piece and looks pleasantly scruffy :)
