I am planning to deer hunt with my Swiss k31 this fall. It is an accurate rifle for my needs as most of my shots are taken from a tree stand or ground blind at under 100 yards. But, the only safety on the rifle is that cumbersome ring on the rear of the bolt. I discovered that a fired 20 ga. shotgun shell placed between the trigger and trigger guard works perfectly. With the two stage trigger on the Swiss K31, one would really have to crush the 20 ga. hull to get the rifle to fire! Upon sighting a deer, it should not be a problem to quickly and quietly push the hull out from behind the trigger. Happy hunting.
