When people at the range wander over to see what's scoring so many V bulls, they'll study it, scratch their heads and then ask "What keeps the bolt from flying back ?"
Just smile and say, "Faith."

About ten there, but I think he might have a few more than that. He's had plenty of interest, and I explained that some of it came from here.
Looking forward to shooting mine, the engineering looks very good.
looks like we need to organise a K31 day at Bisley clapclap
I am up for a day at Bisley with my K31

Shugie;
Congratulations on purchasing a most excellent piece of precision engineering. Boomsticks of this quality are very few and far between these days and as you are now aware, they are becoming more difficult to source as more people latch on to this. Standby for a few comments at the range from other shooters when you finally get there.
If you require any more info on the K31, may I suggest a quick trip over to swissrifles.com where you will find all the help and advice that you will ever need.

Finally got my K31 and took it to Siberia this morning, a very fine morning it was too! As has been said, it attracted a fair bit of interest, not least for its habit of launching the empties upwards to land on either my back or adjacent shooters.
I'm not used to iron sights, but was pleased to get all but one of my second detail of ten shots into the black on the tin hat. Quite a kick, the front jumps up somewhat, but a lovely action and as accurate as claimed.
Very pleased.
