I cast my lot in for the K31; the best (and my only ) bolt rifle of the War I've handled lotsa Mausers (except VZ24's) and they just fit too loosely (I know they're supposed to/have to) when out of battery. The Swiss bolt rides on rails even when out of battery, so the mechanism is always nice and tight. I just wish the action could be rechambered easily (it'd be .308 in a heartbeat).
I know it's just a dumb mental block, but it's enough to keep me from plunking down for (another) obscure caliber. I think I ruined myself when I got a Rem 700, since the feel of cycling its bolt is so totally different from Mausers

PS: This really shoulda been a poll...
