Re: Swiss straight pull rifles

I've been buying and shooting Swiss straight pull rifles since the mid 70s when I got my first one, a G11. I currently have two K31s and two K11s, one of which was made from a model 1900 short rifle. The K31 is a hair more accurate but I like the feel of the K11 better.
K31s were incredibly cheap here in the U.S. for awhile, as low as $125. I accumulated seven of them and then sold them off until only two are left. Prices are rising on K31s now and $350 for a common condition rifle is typical.
I never bothered with the GP11 since I reload. I bought 1,000 or so M72 .30 match bullets about a decade ago and have been working my way through them. I don't shoot the Swiss rifles much so I probably have another 5 years worth of bullets on hand.
Our Canadian friend's K31 rehab is stunning, very nice work!
