Straight-pull rifles are unusual in military history, and the Swiss version is one of the best. The Schmidt-Rubin Model 1911 is chambered in 7.5x55mm Schmidt-Rubin, has a 24 inch barrel, and holds five rounds. This pre-owned rifle has a black finish with a wood stock.

A shooter pulls the bolt straight back and pushes it forward without rotating the handle. The action is smooth, and the rifles were built to a very high standard by Swiss arsenals. The cartridge is accurate and mild.

Look at the bolt, the sight, and the condition of the stock. Check the bore, since a pre-owned rifle can hide pitting under old grease. Ammunition is available from several specialty makers. A Swiss rifle like this makes a good first step into collecting. A steady rest and an unhurried first group will tell you more than any description can.

Condition is exactly as described and pictured. The rifle is sold as described and ships only to a licensed FFL dealer you choose, where the background check is completed. Give the photos a slow look at full size; they show finish and wear better than any paragraph can.
