Shot my K-31 today
I finally got around to shooting my K-31 rifle today. I went out right before dark and blasted off a few rounds offhand. It's definitely the nicest military rifle I've ever shot; I was particularly impressed with the trigger, it's as good as everyone says.
I wish modern manufactures would make their triggers as good as the one on that rifle, even my dad's Savage with the Accutrigger isn't any better. It seemed to be right on target, not that I can really judge accuracy shooting offhand at 50 yards with open sights. Recoil wasn't bad, but I did stupidly stick my finger too far into the triggerguard and take some skin off my knuckle. If I have time tomorrow I'll probably shoot off a few rounds from benchrest and see how good I can make it do.

General Lee,
I'll be incredibly surprised if you are anyhting other than extremly pleased! They are truly great rifles, and real pieces of History, aside from being mechanical works of art in their own right. Have Fun! Regards, |

That's a Class Act for sure. Are those Vitrelli's and older Scmidt-Rubins? And are they as finely fit and machined as the K-31's are? Nice family picture there. Regards, |
