Swiss rifles are an obsession. Got this one from Aimsurplus.

Can't wait to get 'er to the range!

Merry Christmas to me!! Cleaned and lubed and ready to shoot.
This is probably going to start me down the reloading "rabbit hole" with the scarcity of swiss surplus ammo now.

I have 200 to start and will definitely be saving the brass. What would it take for you to part with one of those clips, for display purposes ?

Sorry CJ, not willing to part with any of 'em but I found some online.

I finally shot my two rifles this past Saturday. Didn't really try to sight them in or anything mainly just a function test. I was saving the brass so I would slide the bolt back easy and pick it out. I noticed that the brass casings were barely warm to the touch, kind of freaky. Don't know if it's the brand of ammo or what. We were also shooting an AK, SKS and a couple of ARs, all of that brass (and steel) was screaming hot right out of the chamber.

Thanks Hayata I tried to buy it from the ebay link but it didn't like my CC (or vice versa) still looking, may have found some here, waiting to hear back.

Took her to the CMP range yesterday. Need to adjust the sights but she's a great shooter!

Dang, if I don't get this ol' gurl to the range she's going to disown me!
