Good shooting with a Swiss K31

[calsdad]

At 1000 yards, 2 hits out of 6 using iron sights:

Excellent shooting, especially with iron sights. I really like my "Swiss Miss." A lot of fun to shoot and surprisingly accurate. Can't complain about the price, either. But I cheat with mine - I use a scope.

EDIT: BTW, finding the "owner's card" under the butt plate was pretty cool, too!

wow...that is very impressive

I love how the spotter says "hit" then your hear the impact.

What caliber is the K31? 7.62 NATO?

7.5x55 Swiss

Kind of a shame...Such a nice gun, and so difficult to find ammo for locally.

 

[Pilgrim]

a 42 FOOT drop !

Using 168 gr? I wonder if he squeezed a 7.62 through a sizer for that?

I've seen a few stores that still had some GP11 around. Can usually find it at some gun shows, too.

It's just yet another excuse to start reloading.

7.5 X 55 is actually a 7.62 mm bore diameter.

Zero follow through. No control over the rifle with recoil. Give me that rifle, I'll add my sling and shooting coat, and I'll go prone and do 5/6, at least.

Prone shooting at 800 yards during a Palma match (800, 900, 1000 yards). Shooter is Bryan Litz, multiple time Ohio state long range and mid range prone champion.

Video compressed for time.

What you see through a higher powered rifle scope or through a spotting scope. Watch the trace.

I noticed that too. He could improve quite easily with just these two things.

If your eyes are quick enough, you can see it at much shorter distances as well. Pretty neat the first time you see it.

He'd be drilled out of the Swiss Army for shooting 2/6.

BTW, reloading is easy. Just find some .284 Winchester brass and run it through the 7.5 resizer, trim, and load.
