I bought a Swiss K-31 from AIM Surplus. At the time I had a C&R license and they had apparently purchased a large supply and were selling the less-than-pristine samples for $59.95. The price included delivery to my door. I bought a clamp-on scope mount and put an old Tasco 10X on it and shot a 5 round, 100 yard group that measured less than 1/2" center to center.
Because the thing ejected straight up the scope had to be offset to the right side of the receiver, making it awkward to shoot except off the bench, and changing distances made it necessary to dial in dope on the scope for both elevation and windage. My eyes, by that time, weren't good enough to sort out the factory open sights, so I sold it to fund the purchase of a Remington 700. Nevertheless, that old ratty looking K-31 may be the most accurate rifle I've every owned.
