Beginning the new year with a new boomstick!

I've had the younger, shorter brother (K31) for some time, but have always wanted an old school full length variant.

Behold the Swiss 1896/11 Schmidt-Rubin Straight Pull Rifle in 7.5x55. This one is 111 years old with about 90% original finish remaining.

Now I have to drill a hole in the top of my safe for this long bastard to poke out.... cray

Beautiful gun! I've been dealing with RAD, well GAD lately myself. And AAD. A bit more modern though.

Very nice but I'll stick to Swiss made watches if you don't mind ?

Regards,
