Buy recommendations K11 or K31?

Looking to buy either a k11 or k31. K31 would be a rack grade and k11 a select grade. Need advice on the following:

Unsure of which one to get, for those who have bought a rack grade and or select grade k11 or k31, please chime in and inform me on quality of bore, finish etc.

Thank you!

Rack grades at CSC are pretty shit. I got one and it was pretty beat up (wood has small cracks, lots of dents, metal is scratched). Its not worth buying honestly.

The K31 is a better gun than the K11 as its sights start at 100 m (K11 sights start at 300m, which kinda sucks). Other than this issue the 2 guns are pretty similar.

If I were you, I will spend an extra 200 dollars and find a nicer K31 on Gun Post

Also fyi, heres a pic of the rifle I recieved from CSC. Description of this rifle is: "Schmidt-Rubin K31 Rack Grade - Matching Numbers: 7.5x55mm, Good Barrel & Stock, 40-80% Metal"

How was the steel? The pitting would be a issue for me and metal finishing within reason

Bore is pitted, but the rifling is strong. Lots of little scratches/ dents/ patina on the exterior metal parts
