Just wondering if anybody else here is interested in shooting the Swiss straight pull rifles? I have been shooting and competing in CMP games matches with these, and have recently been invited to shoot with the local Swiss rifle club in the various Swiss matches with the possibility of traveling to the 2020 national matches in Switzerland.

These are fine, well made, interesting and most of all accurate rifles. Most examples are capable of accuracy rivaling semi-custom modern rifles. The days of obtaining them for a song at most gunshows are over. If you've ever had an interest in these, you'd best strike while the iron is hot, they are a vanishing breed. Most who own them do not sell.
 
I've had one for many years but haven't shot it for a long time. I also reloaded some 7.5x55 for it. It's as easy to reload as 308, etc.
