Try buying one recently?
they are up between three and four hundred.
I was amazed at the accuracy of mine (which
I purchased a couple years ago for $139),
till I examined the trigger mechanism
this is probably the best set up I have
ever seen.
It’s what I will be hunting with this year.
If you get a chance pull one of the Swiss
bullets, it is a thing of beauty.
tet.
EVERYTHING about that rifle including the ammo it uses was meant to mess German minds. The bullets mike at about 302 or thereabouts other than for the little band which seals the bore and mikes 308; the idea was to outrange German guns by two or three hundred yards.
That means that when you go to load ammo with normal American hunting bullets, the book is worthless. The total length of cartridge number the books will give is for the Swiss military bullet; anything else needs to be seated back to the first point at which the bolt closes over it easily and the difference is about a whole quarer of an inch. Normal hunting bullets will shoot quite accurately if loaded that way.
