Background
The Schmidt Rubin K31 was the first major redesign of the Schmidt straight pull bolt action. The principal objection to the earlier models had been the length of the action. With the K31 the action was redesigned with half of the length. It remained on active service until 1957 with the adoption of the Stgw 57. It remained in the Swiss reserve arsenals until the 1990's. It is the most well known of the Schmidt Rubin models in the United States and is the one most commonly available in the U.S.A.It is considered by many to be one of the best military bolt action rifles ever made.
