    Thanks , so far, for the replies.
    Just looking for folks who have experience with these guns and possibly know of { if there are any ? } inherent issues , or things to watch out for .
    Any real advantage as to Beechwood as opposed to Walnut ?
    Personally , like a darker wood on a rifle, but just an opinion.

    Watch out Swissicon rifles multiply like rabbits. I started out with 1 K31 and now have over a dozen of various flavors including 1 K31/42 Sniper and 2 K31/ZFK's aka K31/55 Snipers and a very rare Hamerli K31 Match rifle with match sights..

    Is there ANY advantage to a K31 with a Hammerli match barrel ? I have heard little about them on the K31 model ..........

    Time to upgrade to the 21st century perhaps. Where do you get it developed these days? I have a Nikon 35mm and upgraded to the digital version of the same thing so I can still use all my old lenses. Haven't used film since and instead of a couple hundred photos a year I now take thousands.
