Kick,,,,,what. They are a nice rifle. I only wish they had a aperture style sight.
So how did it shoot? Decent groups?
I will be shooting my K31 at the May 17th cmp vintage match at Old Colony Sportsmen in Pembroke Ma

i love my k31...god damn accurate rifle.
i DID give myself a fat lip my first time shooting it from my cheek weld (drill instructor taught me i should feel each shot in my teeth [learned on an M16A4], but i don't think he was considering larger caliber bolt action rifles).

i'm usually done after about 20 rounds or so...lol. not exactly my 'go to' rifle, but a friggen blast to shoot every now and again.
The K31 has a very light recoil,what you need to shoot is a mosin M44. That should be just the recoil you need.![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")
Funny, I own and shoot my M44 often, but usually from standing (mostly so i don't catch the ground on fire), but the K31 i mostly shoot in the prone. i think this is due to the inherent inaccurate nature of (at least my) M44...i can't hit a target regardless of shooting position. but with the k31, i could close my eyes and spin around a few times and i'd probably still have a 1" group.
wouldn't exactly consider the k31's recoil to be 'very light'...but it makes up for it in cool factor.

Took a newbie to the range, a fella with a fair bit of bravado. After shooting an AR he wanted to feel the kick from a "real gun". OK... here, try the K31.
I warned him it had a solid kick so the idiot holds it about 1" from his shoulder, thinking this would help.
BOOM... OMG the look on his face was priceless. He had been told to keep the rifle tight in his shoulder, but didn't listen. He called the next day to describe the color of, and associated pain in his right shoulder.
