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 !

Canada gets a lot of imports of old k11s and k31s so you can find them at retailers but better deals are found online second hand. When it comes to grade the only thing to look for is a clean bore as most of these rifles saw use in drills under Swiss compulsory conscription and later as competition rifles.
If you really want a rifle free from training dings and scratches you will be looking well above 1k in price.
