Schmidt Rubin K31 variation

[Brno2e]

I am currently putting in a variation for a Schmidt Rubin K31.

Under the section headed Type do I put Bolt Action or Straight Pull. Technically both apply but is one more appropriate than the other?

 

[Orion]

Bolt action should cover it - my Merkel is thus recorded. ‘Straight pull’ might well start a round of Q&A from unknowing FLD staff.

Mine is on through West Yorkshire as straight pull

 

[xavierdoc]

Bolt-action is fine (I had one under that description). Straight-pull are still bolt-action.

Why are you specifying an action type, why not simply write in rifle?

You specify the action type when informing of acquisition but there's no need to request a particular action type when applying for a grant or a variation. To do so is to limit yourself to one particular action, you may after all change your mind and decide to purchase a break action or a lever action and won't be able to do so.

Good point.

Note to self - try to remember what the form actually asks for!

 

[Brno2e]

Good point but a previous variation with my constabulary was met with "what sort of action will it be".

Will see what happens this time as I now have a new FLO.

Just write rifle, and get it conditioned for Deer and AOLQ like mine

I'd just put rifle 7.5x55. If the FEO was interested or cared about the type of action, he'd know what it was because 7.5x55 is only found in Swiss surplus rifes?

 

[Andy RV]

Rifle!

 

[kennyc]

like others have said, Rifle and if they insist on action then bolt action (and get it conditioned for Deer AOLQ, mine has been that way for almost 10 years)

Not quite. Machine guns aside Swiss gunmakers have long made superb prone and three-position match rifles, mostly their own design conventional turnbolts. Tanner and Grunig u. Elmiger are the ones that immediately come to mind, but there are others. Being Swiss, and having a superb homegrown cartridge to hand, they're chambered in 7.5X55mm naturally unless the purchaser specifies something else for specific disciplines, eg 6BR for ISSC or 7.62 / 308 to be able to compete in cross military or international level matches run under ICFRA regs.

I don't know how many there are here - deep pockets needed - but there will be some I'm sure.

Thank you. Educational, as always!
