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.

That's the first time I remember seeing what an SVT40 would do.
More Swiss Cheese - Schmidt-Rubin 1896/11 Rifle

Okay, let's finish up the Swiss stuff.
Rifle: Schmidt-Rubin 1896/11 Rifle, 7.5x55mm
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/ ... _Rubin.jpg[/pic]
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.

Swiss Wrap-up: K-31

My last Swissie.
Rifle: Schmidt-Rubin K-31

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
