Gnomes, or that must have been a really long field exercise.
What kind of rifle does that soldier have in the photo with the rope?

It would just about have to be....but the bolt handle looks like it has round knob on the end. I must be imagining things.

Looks like a bolt action rifle to me Robert and not a straight pull.

And a Swiss straight pull it is in 7.5 GP90, first introduced in 1893 and first made by SIG and later by W+F.

Ok.....so I have a short memory. 
Just saw a Swiss Mannlicher 1893 advertised by a dealer online for $1695. That's about ten times what I paid for my K31 a couple or three years ago. That guy in the photo must have been a new guy and gotten the last choice rifle instead of one of the newer up to date models.
