I had a Schmidt-Rubin Swiss rifle in 7.5. It was a big, long, heavy rifle. On the plus side it was beautifully made and a really good shooter.
The straight pull was also decent. Ammo a bit hard to find.
Those Swiss straight-pull rifles have always amazed me with the level of quality evident in their manufacture. I’ve often wondered how they would’ve held up to the sort of combat that the Mosin-Nagant, Mauser and Enfield experienced.
The K-31 is on my list of WWII era battle rifles to collect. But first I’m looking for A SMLE. I’d like a mark IV, but if a nice mark III came along i wouldn’t turn it down.
