You've been missing something! The very long sight radius is a pleasure for old eyes. Accuracy is better than K11, often better than K31. Recoil is softer than both. But of course I'm prejudiced, as my "Heidi" is a G96/11 that shoots so well with GP11 ammo, that it is the only bolt-action ex-service rifle for which I have not tried to make up my own load.
