Sorry. Not exactly a “precision” platform, but at least they have a “bolt” action. Sorta.
I finally picked one up a few weeks ago, and may add another (rule of 2’s and all that…) soon. They are gems, IMO. Curious as to who all might enjoy these guns.
I have several of them. Most in 7.5x55, but three of mine are chambered for .308WIN. I consider the Swiss K31, Finn M39 and Swede M96 to be the most accurate battle rifles of the WWII era.
The best part of the K31 experience is locating the tag under the buttplate and trying to contact the Swiss soldier to whom the rifle was issued. I’ve been able to contact several former “owners” of these rifles and the stories they tell of using their rifles really adds to the experience.
I sold off all but one to support my AR habit…
4X Weaver, 155 gr. Nosler HPBT Match, 42 gr. IMR4064, 100 yards. Fricken’ flyer…
sweet!
I know this is a necro-post. I actually found this thread via Google Images, and I must say, WOW! That was quite a nice collection.
I got one of these myself, pretty pleased with it.
Sold mine cause I needed the money at the time, plus the price of ammo was turning me away from C&Rs. My K31 had Mojo sights, took me a liitle to get used to them but once I did I couldn’t miss.
I consider the K31 a wonderful rifle, the outstanding quality of craftsmanship, glass smooth action, and wonderful triggers make them real gems.
Old thread, I know…
I love my K31. Damned smooth action and brilliant trigger. It acts almost like a 2 stage with the take up and then light break.
I have a Finn M39 that is a great shooter but not quite the experience the K31 is. Beats the hell out of a standard Mosin.
Funny you say that—I am planning on getting a Finn Mosin next (in terms of C&R) because the ammo is still cheap. I probably won’t buy it for a couple months as I’d rather get ammo for my K-31 and go shoot the shit out of it; I’ve only had mine for two weeks and have only put 20 rounds through it and I’m super blue-balled with it.
I had always been a little skeptical of the Swiss rifle because everyone talks about how great they are and such (sound familiar?), but damn, this rifle walks the walk. I’m glad I bought one, to say the least.
Did someone say K31?
Nice looking rifle!
The receiver is an interesting color. Was it reblued?
That’s NICE!
And yeah, why does the receiver look almost like the color of an SVT-40 bolt? (I know not quite, but kind of).
What year is that one?
Dunno, everything is pristine, at least it was until I stored it for a couple months accidentally with the sling under the butt which pitted a small spot and ruined the flawless bluing. Other than what I did to it, everything looked like it came off an assembly line when I bought it. Its a 1938 rifle.
I see you’re on the forum that’s basically the “M4C.net” of Swiss Rifles.
