Rob, mate i was asked to go to a rifle practice shoot, back in 2020 and i was expecting like older weapon system, but in fact it was F Class shooting practice, anyway, they let me shoot 20 rounds at various distance and my first shoot in over 40 years i do not hold a shooters or rifle licence at all and my first shoot at 800 yards with 7.62 x 51 was 38/50 and then at 1,200 yards it was 48/50 and thats with a 5.56 round as well, i understand the rifles and weapon systems are very advanced and expensive, the the 1,200 yard shoot, was with standard 5.56 rifle no special barrel, sure a good scope and custom loads, but for someone who has not shoot any weapon system for over 40 years i guess getting taught by the military how to shoot when i was only 14 years old paid off, which i told them that i was in the cadets and shoot the AU SLR at 400 yards with iron sights and my score was 98/100. cheers keep up the great wok Rob, always looking forward to your uploads and all the best for X mas in 2023 and all the best for the new year in 2024. 🙌🙌✌✌🦘🦘👍👍.
300 yards is nothing for that rifle. We Swiss shoot at 300m with iron sights as standard. An acquaintance of mine was a sniper in the Swiss army with this rifle, They were required to shoot to 800m and not be found by ground troops. All the best, Rob in Switzerland
Been to CH, ya'll live in a beautiful country, have an amazing and also beautiful culture. I spent a little time there several years ago, and saw the soldiers carrying around their bad-ass, sexy as hell Sig 550 rifles, and have been in love with those firearms ever since. I wish our military used the Sig 550. Some years back, Sig-Saur's USA branch released an American version of the 550 called the Sig 556, and it was/is a complete and total injustice/embarrassment/hell... an all-out INSULT to what the 550 is. They priced them a 4-times what an AR-15 costs, and cut the quality of the (usually stellar) Sig-Saur manufacturing. It's a well-known flop that should have... and could have had some success in an American gun market dominated by only one type of semi-automatic modular tactical-style hunting and target rifle in the AR-15. All that to say, yeah... you Swiss know your shit.
@@hjaggerhey fellow Aussie! I too live in Australia, I have a K31 very nice rifle (paid AU$2600) Yes that would be an awesome addition to my historic collection, but at that price I don't think so 😪
Awesome shooting as always Rob, especially liked the 9Hole review esk intro 😀👍 With an absolutely gorgeous Rifle! My K31 looks similar with a side mounted scope but I would love to have a ZFK, cheers from Oz
Rob I really appreciate how you aren't someone who just goes on bragging about how good of a shot you are you've always seemed like a nice humble person.
the focus is always on the rifle, not the shooter, rob is the best. The videos are about what WE could expect with the weapon platform, not what an Olympic marksman could do with it. Rob for president 2028 (during the mutant apocalypse we will need him)
I just want to say Rob, I am VERY glad to have you here in the US. Your abilities are top notch. I have always enjoyed watching other pro's at work, and you sir are upper tier. TY for all your service. Your videos are always superb. To me there is nothing like long range work.
@dbmail545 My family came here from Germany in 1800's and we served in US Amry in WW1, and US Navy in WW2. Yes, he is an excellent person and his knowledge he shares is top notch.
Very nice Rob, I truly enjoyed watching! Actually, I am Swiss and shoot various rifles with the 7.5x55 chambering. You may be aware that the GP11 production had been stopped for quite some years and has now restarted in 2017. Initial 2017 batches seemed to have some issues (at least according to some shooters) with especially some flyers being found in some batches. At most shooting ranges in Switzerland we now get the 2019 batches and they seem to be more stable. I still also have some 1987 batches. I actually just shot last September the same PPU that you used aside with a 1987, a 2017, a 2018 and a 2019 batches of GP11 with my Steyr CISM (with a Leupold Mark 5) on the "regular" 300 m range and all those cartridges including the PPU scored well below 1 MOA 5 shot groups (even with the rifle getting hotter, I did not let it cool down). So, just to confirm to you that also that PPU ammo is indeed really OK and shd be able to do below 1 MOA within this beautiful machinery! 🙂
Ha, thank you George, but seriously, rifle like this does most of the work for the trigger puller...as a shooter, you just have to not screw this up... Thank you for watching!
A good friend of mine has a few of these guns and they are tac drivers. The accuracy on a mass produced gun is amazing, especially for the Era they were made in.
Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful rifle. Also I love hearing Ula’s “let’s go”…sounds like her version of your “enough of the b.s.”! You’re a great team!
I bought a Jubilee model about 10 years ago. It was made in 1981 to commentate 50 years. I bought diopter sights for it. Everyone said don’t shoot it because it’s a collector item. 😂 it’s very, very accurate.
Thanks Rob! Swiss rifles are cool! Mark and I were shooting the K98 Israeli Mauser Sniper and you did a great job getting the scope zeroed. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Please keep this style of video format: the two parts of 1) shooting performance then 2) historical context, technical details, and historical footage. Keeping both in every video is awesome.
What a beautiful machine! Just as I would expect from Swiss design and manufacturing. I have wanted one of these for years, can't wait to acquire one of my own. This is a great video, and I'll be looking forward to seeing you revisit this rifle with GP11 and better glass. Thanks for sharing your work!
another awesome episode . To actually see the round traveling through the air is amazing . It gives you the true flight of the bullet over various ranges . To see the arch of the bullet puts everything into prospective . Merry Xmas and Happy New Year . Both rifles are stunning . I want one or both .. But living in Australia , I won't hold my breath .
I've shot tracers in each of 5.56, 7.62x51, and 50 BMG, one after the other, on a range hundreds of meters. The difference is huge. The math doesn't lie, but it's still dramatic to see in person. As for Australia, 3D printer go brrrr. Can't stop the signal. I'm not sure I'd be so bold without the huge amount of plausible deniability here in the US, but options exist.
Swiss Army had sniper rifles before, based on the K31. The optics were strange, more like the ZF41 from the Germans, but mount in the back, not in the front like the Germans did. They were called zfk 31/42 & 31/43.
i was trained on the ZFK 55 back in 1975. we used to shoot accuratly across mountain valleys 1.5 to 2 klick distance at tactical targets. or, even more fun, from high ridges at floating balloons swimming down the mountain streams.
I used to compete in High Power with one of these ('53 production). They're are truly hidden gems in the world of military bolt rifles. Thanks for the vid, Rob! You're a phenomenal shot!
Brother, I am SO glad that you’re on OUR side! LOL Love the channel and the humble professional you are! You show the abilities of presented rifles without boasting of your own… which is obvious for us to see your skill and talent! Which puts weight behind your opinions and reviews! You are one of the few that I trust in making any decisions or purchases!
They were available for $300 usd in the early 1990's. They are a beautiful piece of Swiss craftsmanship. At 600 yds the barrel is heated up. Likely point of impact will creep to the upper right
Merry Christmas Rob! I remember when you could easily find one of those for around $2K… I’ve always wanted to add one to my collection…🤷♂️but… Great shooting and video as always! Thanks for sharing this great rifle.
After 2020, everything relating to ammo has been scarce or non existence. Before that, it was buy all you can buy. It just feels like a recession that never ends.
This explains the holes in their cheese. Beautiful wood on this rifle, and I would say that PPU ammunition did mighty damn good. Merry Christmas to you and your family Rob!
Rob, Thank you for all you have done for us here, and the AK Opereator’s union. And thank your beautiful family as well. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Excellent video, Rob, and a beautiful rifle! I do wonder how difficult it might be to find one in good condition nowadays. It's definitely on my wish list. Cheers and a Merry Christmas to you and your family!
@@VintageRiflesShootersClub where can I send you some money for a box of ammo for a video??? Your such a great shooter. I am a retired Marine and I used to love to shoot.
*No Shock here. I'm not aware of any Vintage Swiss Military Rifle that wasn't/isn't a great shooter, which is why the surviving examples are so expensive...The Swiss have always turned great barrels. The 7.5x55, 7.62x52 & 7.62x 54R are all pretty much different versions of the same cartridge & inherently very stable, accurate cartridges* 🔥🔥 *That said...Calling a ZFK a K31 is more than a little disingenuous. The K31 might have served as the inspiration for the ZFK action but that's pretty much where the similarity ends.* *P.S. Merry Christmas from West Nebraska, USA* 🎅👋
Love seeing this rifle get some love and attention. Interesting to hear Rob say it has low recoil because I’ve got a regular K31 and it has a TON of recoil. Maybe because it doesn’t have a muzzle brake.
The Swiss don’t make junk. I know how that target looks through that 3.5X scope. Looks like the 1,000 yard target in those old Fixed 10X scopes we had in my day. Good shootin’ Rob.
Nice shooting and rifle. I looked for one on line definitely out of my price range and for that kind of money $5k to $7K I could build you the best of the best F-Class or PRS or Tactical rifle. I'm kind of a collector of sorts but I'm also a realist, I won't pay new technology price for an old technology firearm.
Mark, it's hard to really "put the finger" on something like this. Any of those old school sniper rifles price wise is out of the game vs "modern" rifles, when you compare Bang for Money paid...Having an ability to adjust the stock on most of the modern rifles anyway you want, alone is a huge win for the shooter...that being said, it's always fascinating to me what really you can squeeze out from those old work horses...I wish they could cost less, but it is what it is...
Fantastic video Rob, thanks a lot for making it. I live in Switzerland so we occasionally see those on the range, in fact I had the chance to try one at 300 meters. I knew it was a good and accurate rifle, but it seems even better than that (and your skills also never fail to impress). Happy new year.
Perfect presentation on this rifle. I do not have any stright pull in my collection. If you do revisit this gun cuod you go over the issues with people shooting the wrong ammo and blowing up the bolt. Going to join the shooters club next year. Great video.
glad you got your hands on one of these! i miss the scope cam, but understand it doesnt always work, can I suggest a through the scope photo for what the view is of the target and the hold you are using for each?
Scope can is bad ass but I was so disappointed that it’s very limited usage for it because of the hardware…as far as pictures (view on targets through the camera), I used to make these in older videos, but I never heard any feedback on it so I kind of scrap that idea…
Für mich als jäger super Patrone ! Habe Mauser 98 mit 7.5x55 modifiziert dicker match lauf und ssg Optik schiesst wie gift ! Danke für dieses intresante Video !
Your videos are just great entertainment ! Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge . Cool old rifle - I have never seen one before . Learned something today ! Good day then .
Merry Christmas my friend. I love your show. I see a lot of times I love that rifle the Swiss rifle. I like the loading and unloading the quickness. It's not up-and-down just straight back-and-forth. Swiss makes very good weapons !!!💪💪💪👍👍
I just saw one of these for sale at the Tanner Gun Show in Denver a couple of weeks ago. It was a consignment listed for $9000. It would probably be cheaper through a direct sale, but nobody is gonna spend that much on one, even as great as it is.
Got hooked on AK operators union years ago and your videos were always top notch however, these are just a different level. Real world demonstrations and always a bit of history mixed in for us nerds that like that kind of stuff. Merry christmas to all of you and look forward to what next year has in store!
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!! Thank you for watching (please leave the comment and like!!!).

Got offered one to buy back in 2005 for about 1800 swiss Francs, what an idiot i was that i haven't bought it right away
Don’t be too hard on yourself. We all made some mistakes in the past which we all have regrets about! Ha!
@@VintageRiflesShootersClub I'm cuddling with my Stgw 57 for comfort instead

These ZFK 55s are always so striking. The silhouette is iconic
I know the AK videos are/were your bread and butter but this format/channel is very quickly becoming my favorite.
Been waiting for this video since your post!
I love Swiss rifles and chucking a FG42 muzzle brake on the end only makes this better!

After 2020, everything relating to ammo has been scarce or non existence. Before that, it was buy all you can buy. It just feels like a recession that never ends.
True to that...but things slowly are getting better...well, not price wise, but availability wise.

I've said it before... I'm glad Rob and Ula are on our side! 👍
Impressive gun, especially for a 1950's mass produced weapon. I really admire that sort of excellence.
Merry Christmas Rob and all that watch from the England

Yes, that muzzle device makes all the difference!

You could engrave or etch those scope calculations on top of the scope.

Beautiful rifle. My scoped K31 holds a 5 shot group in a quarter at 100 yards with gp-11. Would love to try the ZFK-55 some day to compare.
The Swiss don’t make junk. I know how that target looks through that 3.5X scope. Looks like the 1,000 yard target in those old Fixed 10X scopes we had in my day. Good shootin’ Rob.
subscribed! Excellent channel.

@9:17 it seems the projectile split and hit two targets. The light indicator on the target further and left went off, as well.
That’s one crisp and refreshing thumbnail. Ricolaaa! 😂

I really want a hat like yours, comrade! Super secret camo!
Entertaining and informative as always.
Dang, that thing can shoot!
I always thought a K31 would make a good sniper rifle and you say the ZFK 55 is an improvement..... now I'm really interested.
Merry Christmas my friend. I love your show. I see a lot of times I love that rifle the Swiss rifle. I like the loading and unloading the quickness. It's not up-and-down just straight back-and-forth. Swiss makes very good weapons !!!💪💪💪👍👍
What a crazy muzzle break. Merry Christmas!
Very well done and excellent trigger work. Merry Christmas!
I just saw one of these for sale at the Tanner Gun Show in Denver a couple of weeks ago. It was a consignment listed for $9000. It would probably be cheaper through a direct sale, but nobody is gonna spend that much on one, even as great as it is.
That is insane price. I think they just fishing to see if someone will go for it….
I think it looks gorgeous 👍 great video
Thank you!
Great presentation, content, and shooting... Merry Christmas to you and yours.
lovely video, sir, i always enjoy your videos...
Thank you for watching and commenting! Merry Christmas!!!

You’re an amazing shooter!! Merry Christmas.
Rifle is amazing, I'm just a trigger puller here! Ha! Thank you for watching and commenting and Merry Christmas!!!!!
Got hooked on AK operators union years ago and your videos were always top notch however, these are just a different level. Real world demonstrations and always a bit of history mixed in for us nerds that like that kind of stuff. Merry christmas to all of you and look forward to what next year has in store!
Just a beautiful rifle
