First of all the action is slick as snot !
The GP11 ammo is very clean but expensive.
I managed a 2.5 inch 6 shot group at 100 yards offhand as my shooting bench is still in the shed

I was using 1/4 inch thick steel circles as a target and the ammo went clean through. I thought I was missing because I didnt hear any noise and the target didnt move. I have a feeling that the rifle will be more accurate when bench rest fire it in the spring.
I used the Swiss grease method to clean it using my Swiss cleaning kit from TAPCO. It was easier than using solvent and I am going to try it on the rest of my Military guns.

I think these K31's are the nicest military bolt actions going.

That's some goot shootin there!

I need to get mine out for a whirl pretty soon. I got the Portugese new production ammo from SOG when they had it.

Tell me, did you get a shooters grade or a collectors grade? Just curious. Probably wouldn't make any difference as the bore is mirror on my shooters grade.

Shooters grade. I want to get a nice collectors grade rifles once my C&R get here. The stock on mine is dings and the toe is water damaged a little but the metal in nice and the bore is a thing of beauty.

Sounds just like mine, the butt stock is water damaged heavily, but the metal is beautiful. To bad the "new" stock sets cost more than the rifle. :(
