What do you mean "because of the mount"?

Re: Help in choosing IOR scope

The k31 mount has to have a small bell on it because of the rear sight interfering and also because the rifle ejects upward. The IOR has has been recommended by several on Swiss rifle sights. Usually 44 size is the max or you have to get higher rings which messes up your cheekweld and makes it uncomfortable to shoot. Budget is about 800. Hope that answers your questions and I appreciate your input.

Don't think you'll find one for 800.

I'd go with 10x instead of 16x if it is going to be a fixed power scope.

Keep in mind, they make two different tube sizes, 30mm and 35mm

You could get a 6x, 10x or 16x IOR, they make them all with the MP8 reticle. Super Sniper HD might be an option too but you'd have to call SWFA to get an exact measurement.

Scopes on k31s. You just need the right mount.

This one is a zfk55 with an IOR Valdada 10 on it. It fits the k31 exactly the same because the rear sight system is identical.

These are k31s scoped

Note that the best possible scope setup for a k31 is with the scope low and as close to the axis of the bore as possible as with this Leupold.

And if you need a better cheekweld..............

zfk55

Also the IOR that is on the ZFK..same for k31? Thanks

For all things k31 related go here... www.swissproductsllc.com
Yes, both the k31 and the zfk55 will go to 1,000 yards. All Swiss Rifles from the 96/11, 1911, k11, k31, zfk55 and the PE57 Semi-Auto use the same cartridge and projectile. The Berger 175 VLD is the closest match in profile to the issue GP11 cartridge, but most shooters use the Sierra Matchking 175s. Ballistics are side by side with the full charge .308, and with the right load, somewhat better.

Forgot to add that the IOR fits over the rear sight the same on both rifles, with the k31 having an off-set as with the Garand M1D Sniper
