Buy recommendations Swiss k31
Good evening my fellow shooters. I've been going down a rabbit hole of looking up old milsurp rifles and the consensus is the Swiss k31 is the best out of the ones I was looking at, mosin was another but from what I saw on posts and reviews the k31 is just better overall. So my question is wheres a good place to pick up one from ? I saw a few sites here in canada that are selling them. The prices range from 699-1200. Im assuming the price range is because of the overall grade of the rifle etc. Should there be anything to watch out for in terms of grade?. Like Rack Grade seems to be decent enough. Anyway thanks for reading and any help I get !

Probably best to look around for one on gunpost/townpost or CGN. You might get lucky at an auction too. When you buy from an individual it's a big bonus that you know the exact one you're getting.
The accuracy of K31s is also from very high quality match ammunition being used (GP11). Unfortunately GP11 has almost all dried up. Also look into swedish mausers and finnish M39s, they are great shooters aswell.
