I was going to mention my two Swiss k31's. Awesome straight bolts. I have the gp11 ammo to go with them. The Swiss recommend lubing the bolt cams with moly.
When training I just use paint masking tape to cover the holes.
From an early age I was taught "Waste not — Want not."
So to conserve on tape, targets and felt tip markers . . . I make sure to put all my shots through a single hole.

The slashes are the cuts to insert a fresh center replacement on the target*.
@ CLASSIC12.
Good shooting brother.
Edit. * We European are frugal folks.
It's more fun to say you shoot at repair centers because that's the only part of the target you use.
A lot of nice shooting going on there.
Here in Reno, when I think of Swiss, I think of the post #17 rifle
that is used by several shooters in the stock events...... at the metal targets that some of us shoot, at our meets.
This rifle looks weird, but they sure can shoot.

Nice! The Glock seems to be holding it's own, in terms of grouping!
Great collection of really fine firearms.

Nice toys across the pond you have. I have a Swiss k31 straight pull bolt rifle. I managed to get some match quality GP-11 7.5mm ammo for it, sweet action. I waited many decades to get a 9 mm pistol. I chose a CZ85db it's amberdexterious cz75, another sweet gun.
Congrats you have a nice selection of shooters.

I'm surprised you don't have a Swedish lathi m40 in 9 mm luger or a Swede 6,5 mm Mauser. The Finnish mosins, the Swiss k31, the Swede Mauser are suppose to be tops in the surplus market. I don't know how much is available there gun wise. I picked up a Swede Husqvarna m40/9 mm and it's heavy.
For the ones who never seen or heard of the Swedish m40,

I love my two W+F Parabellums

But in the meantime, I missed a very nice 1917 DWM Luger for $ 1400 (sold hours after it was advertised), still kicking myself (until i get a chance to kick the LGS).
I did some "Swiss" shooting myself yesterday. I went to the range to test and sight some guns in and the last one I shot was a Sphinx AS2000. The first shot at 10 yards went high and I adjusted the rear sights until I was on target. The results encouraged me to bring the target out to 15 yards and despite the 115gr Geco red box ammo, the five shot offhand group was pretty good.
It makes me wonder why the OP does not have one of those very well made early Swiss Sphinx pistols. The trigger is as excellent as in my P210-6 and I honestly had not thought that possible with the CZ75 platform.
