swiss k31 vs k11

[midnightpossum]

Just curious:
From what I have read, the k31 is an improvement over the k11.. as far as a more robust action.. built to handle the gp11 round easier.... would like to hear the opinions from people who own both.

Both handle GP11 easily.
K31 throat cut more closely to match Gp11 profile.
K11 can handle longer, heavier bullets, if you need more than 175grs.

K11 handles slightly better, but barrel is thinner, not as accurate after many shots. That's the reason for the K31 design, handling close to the K11, but better long term accuracy with a slightly longer sight radius and thicker barrel.

I like them all.
M1911, 96/11 are very accurate too, but very long for a service rifle.
Longer sight radius a plus for younger eyes, but the K31 is my favorite for two reasons, easiest rifle to add on either competition diopter sights or scope mount without any changes to the rifle.
