I've always wanted a K31, but when I found this K11, with excellent bore, matching #'s and at a great sale price, my mind was made up. When my rifle arrived I found it to be just as advertised ( purchased from Simpson's Ltd.) , complete with sling and muzzle protector. My next chore was to reload some suitable ammo before I could head to the range.
Using Lee 7.5 x 55 dies and Prvi brass, I loaded Hornady 180 gr BTSP bullets over a beginning load of Varget. Shooting from bags & bench at 50 yards, my first 5 shots grouped at just under 1". The others shots pictured were shot off-hand standing from the same distance. The action was smooth and the trigger was excellent. I am certain that with a little effort this rifle will shoot 1 MOA at 100 yards. Needless to say I am pleased.
As seen on the pictured target I aimed approximately 5" below center to allow for the short distance. My aging eyes handled the sights relatively well, but I would like to find one of the wider sight blades.
My K11 is pictured alongside two of my favorites; my Husqvarna 20B double and Lyman Great plains .50. What's not to like!
Shoot Safe, Shoot Fun, Shoot Often, Shoot Tens !

Re: K 11 range report
Looks like you have a sweet load, I still regret selling my K31 though I do enjoy shooting my 96/11.
We had a wee cast bullet fest at our 25m indoor range last week useing suitable downloads.
My effort with the 96/11.
