What is real world price for K31? Just shooter quality rifle.Originally Posted by Evil_Ed
Swiss Schmidt-Ruben K31s are the easy button; 7.5x55 is roughly the same as 7.62x51 when it comes to ballistics and bullet size. Really easy to shoot really well and I think you can still find good examples for inexpensive...I have one and really like it. Haven't shot it in probably 15 years at this point though
I should dig out a couple boxes of ammo and take it out again...
$500+. Like all C&Rs, they're no where near as cheap as they used to be.
Simpson Ltd. and Edelweiss Arms have the best selection.

A K31 is perhaps the favorite of my C&R rifle collection. It's accurate for an old military rifle, and a marvel of Swiss workmanship. Acquire dies and 7.5x55 brass and they're easy to reload for with .308 bullets and other readily available components.
Agreed.

I acquired a K11 from my wife's grandfather when he passed away circa 1992. Had no idea what it was at the time...no import markings and the original stock had been sporterized at some point (pre-internet days). I was finally able to source a replacement stock from Switzerland to get it back to its original configuration. I wound up with a K31 in the late 00's, but for some stupid reason sold it a few years later.
Any of them, combined with some GP-11 ammo (or 175smk) is a thing to behold.
