    @davycc - Many thanks for that bit of help there for an old fart. I've been a great fan of Swiss schtuff since I first went to Switzerland back in the 1960's on a school vacation, and later, when I got my first two Swiss rifles/carbines both of which I still shoot regularly.

    Back in 1989, the K31 cost me $79.95 and a week later, the K11 cost another ten bucks more. The sales clerk even threw in half a dozen 10-round packs of GP11, a couple of slings and muzzle protectors, just to see the back of them, I guess. My 300m match rifle, based on a K31 action and fitted with a Schultz & Larsen barrel with Centra/W+F sights front an rear, was a later acquisition.

    Apologies to the main audience here for talking about older guns, but that's what I do. Even my newest rifle is almost thirty years old.

    The Swiss family I used to stay with not far from Thun had, at one time, four generations of the same family shooting together in competitions. The great-grandfather actually passed away on the village 300m range one Sunday morning after church, whilst getting ready for a match, at the age of 96. That's a good way to go, eh?
