K 31 looks good.

[DaveN]

A Shotgun news advertiser has K 31's for just over $200 and I'm considering getting one. My search for a cheaper mauser (yugo 24/47 or a 48 ) is just to get a start in the milsurps bolt guns. Some threads swear by the swiss and many the mausers so if i can't narrow it down i may have to get both or a mosin/nagant.

I came to the conclusion that I could own 1 rolex watch or 2or3 very nice rifles,or 9or10 good arsenal rebuilt rifles. I'm in this last category now and may only get to some where in between cat 2 and three. My $80 swiss army watch works just fine.

Some shooters have described the K31 as "Target rifles disguised as military issue," or something to that effect. As with anything Swiss-made, they are marvels of precision and detail. Another plus: The widely available Swiss milsurp ammo is match-grade quality and accuracy. BTW: Some feel the more attractive walnut stocks are worth the premium, over the beech stocks. Bonus: many rifles include a slip of paper under the buttplate with the original soldier's name and address. I tracked mine down to the original owner's son (his father, who patrolled the German border with this rifle during WW2, now deceased).

You're right! This one is a full dress k1 ready to holler downrange.
