Good idea dave.

Those poofy french horrors are likely to come apart in anything other than a gentle Provence breeze.

You need proper battle rifle robust, trustworthy, accuarate and elegant!

You'ver said it mate - The Enfield.

After a nice Reuben sandwich for lunch, I felt like a little something Swiss.

That's the first time I remember seeing what an SVT40 would do.

Okay, let's finish up the Swiss stuff.

Rifle: Schmidt-Rubin 1896/11 Rifle, 7.5x55mm

Ammo: Swiss surplus GP11

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/ ... -11_87.jpg[/pic]

Score: 87.0

I like this rifle more than the K-31, but not nearly as much as I like the 1889 rifle.

My last Swissie.

Rifle: Schmidt-Rubin K-31

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/ ... n_K-31.jpg[/pic]

Ammo: Swiss surplus GP11

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/ ... -31_85.jpg[/pic]

Score: 85.1

I was somewhat confused by the performance of the GP11 ammo and this rifle. I had to set the sights at 300 meters to get these results using a six o'clock hold on the target.

All of my Swiss shooting was done sitting at the bench as the ground was quite muddy from recent snowmelt.

You have some very nice rifles there sarge, i am particulary enamoured with the 1889 Swiss cheese.

I am surprised the K31 / GP11 combination didnt score higher though.

Nice shooting
