Sported 1911 Swiss--range report

Last year I bought several sported Swiss rifles--two 1911's and a K31. Granted, they do not look like much, but they are great shooters. These will never be re-mill'd, so I had no qualms about drilling and mounting a scope base on one of the 1911's.

I put a Bushnell 10x40 scope on it and zeroed it at 50 yards with 3 rounds of gp11

Then shot 5 rounds of GP11 at 100 yards. This was my first and best group but all of them were pretty good.

I shot 5 rounds of Hornady target ammo at 100 yards and got this:

I would like some kind of strap on cheek pad to assist in getting a consistent cheek weld. Anyone have any suggestions?

Scroll to the bottom and click on the photo of my rifle with the cheekrest. That will take you to a guy that makes really great cheekpads.

Thanks, Latigo.

I've been in touch with Peter and have ordered one.

With the offset scope arrangement, any of the array of strap-ons for the M-1 Garand would probably work. Or you can just go with the one from Swiss Products.

Thanks, Bruce. I thought about a Garand cheek pad, but decided to order one from Czechmauseritis.

Calfed, nice rifle, my "sporter" model looks nearly the same. I was really wanting to have the Rock Solid mount installed and have it bedded with Rock Solid's screws and pillars as well. I have a Zeiss Conquest that I pulled from another rifle that I sold that I had planned to use. I just posted in this section about ID help with my two Swiss rifles. If you wouldn't mind taking a look, you may have some ideas.

Calfed, I also have a few of these Bushnell 3200 Elites in 10x40 and love them. I've had one mounted to my Barrett M82A1CQ for a few years now with absolutely no trouble. I've been using Burris XTR rings with them. What has been your personal experience with them?

Ah, Rock Solid does not make a mount for the 96/11 or 1911 rifles. Only for the K31.
Swiss Products should have one into the market in a few months.

Diopter, thanks. I guess I was under the false impression that the receivers were the same. I've been to the Swiss Products page and they have nice items. I see that they have a K31 brake... would this also work on a 1911 or would any of the 7.62 brakes on the market be better?

Barrel diameters are different. Swiss products is thinking of making muzzle brakes for 96/11 and 1911 rifles. When is another story.
