I bought this K31 a couple of years ago when they were about $175 (not the $89 guns they once were, but less than the $250+ they go for now). It's walnut and in good shape, even the stock. No tag, unfortunately. I'm not good enough with irons to bring out the potential of the gun, so it got a Swiss Products aluminum clamp on mount and a Nikon Team Primos 3x9. The iron sights can still be used. I don't know the brand of bipod, but the hole in it is the same size and pitch as the action screw, so I just ran a longer bolt up through both. The cheekpiece at some point needs to be replaced with a decent leather one (czechmauseritis on the swiss rifle forums makes some very nice ones). A Swiss Products recoil pad spacer to bring the curved contour of the stock to a flat face to accept standard recoil pads. I happened to have the Morgan pad sitting around and stuck it on, adjusted to a position comfortable for prone shooting. I've got some 165 grain Nosler Ballistic tips loaded and ready to go. Not as pretty as it once was, but I'll get more use out of it this way and with the exception of a couple of 1/8 in holes drilled for the butt of the stock it's 100% reversible. When Swiss Products gets their left hand op rod on the market I'll have to pick one up for my grandfather, or my future children in the unfortunate case they're born with the same deficiency.
Many of the items were purchased used on THR, so total cost in this configuration is about $450. That includes $175 for the rifle, $150 for the scope, and $50 for the mount.
