Oh man, I shot my new Swiss K11 for the first time today and it turns out to be a total buddy-gun. I didn't even bore-check the sights and I was already only 5'' to the right at 100 meters. I just tapped the front sight a little to the right with my hammer and a pin and bam, dead center.
I think I have never managed to sight in an iron-sighted rifle this fast, or even a scoped rifle.
Also, turns out it totally loves the first handload I tried in it, you could hardly ask for better results. And the action is smooth as glass, worked it really fast and it felt like manually operating a well oiled swiss watch. Not bad for a rifle made in 1921.
Almost boring. Well, almost.
If anyone is looking for an easy and accurate surplus rifle that packs a punch I can wholeheartedly recommend the Swiss Gewehr 1911 or Karabiner 1911.
