Swiss schoolboys once trained on rifles like this one. The Model 1897 Cadet is a bolt action chambered in 7.5mm with a 23 inch barrel, a matte black finish, and a single round capacity. Serial number 4191 is listed.

The cadet rifle is a smaller sibling of the Swiss service Schmidt-Rubin, built for youth marksmanship programs. A single-shot capacity makes it a quiet, slow, careful shooter. The case is not included.

Check the bore, the bolt, and the stock for cracks. Because this is a rare cadet rifle, look at the photos for any marks that may increase interest. It is a good piece for someone who collects Swiss marksmanship history.

Condition is as stated in the description, and the rifle is sold as described. It ships to your chosen FFL dealer, where the transfer and background check take place. Ask us about fit, wear or what comes with it before you order. If a detail matters to your decision, send a question first and compare the answer with the photos. Give it a careful look when it arrives at your dealer before you sign the transfer.
