I've always been fascinated by Scandinavian civilian marksmanship dedication. What were those commercial target rifles Tradex had recently in 7.5x55... Tanner? I should have grabbed one of those....

 

[diopter]

I remember them having a Sig Sauer 200 STR a few years ago.

They had 3 or 4 of these a few months ago

Hopefully, whoever buys it will at lease try it standing with diopter instead of putting a scope and just shoot it off a bench.
That's like using a Bugatti Veyron to deliver pizza.

Switzerland is not part of Scandinavia. It is in the very heart of Europe.

Might you be thinking of Sweden?

No, I meant what I typed...most of my collection is Dane and Swede target rifles from the 50's to 70's, and the rivalries they had in competition were interesting. The ingenuity they used in improving their rifles is also quite fascinating.
I only have 1 K31, I'm not up to speed on Swiss history very much.

I would do some unholy things for this rifle.

 

[Shooting Centre]

We have one that is similar

Thanks, but I already have an 1889 conversion. I’d love to have a .22 conversion with diopter sights installed.
