The Swiss have a refreshingly different approach to Range Danger Areas than that adopted in this country.

Having said that I noticed that they did not litter the top of Mount Pilatus with signs warning that it is dangerous to fall off a 1,000 metre precipice.

Perhaps they feel it is natural selection at work.

Tremendous amount of travel in that trigger before it takes up, and breaks.

Thanks, Parabola.

May God bless America and those who defend her.

I have a SIG 210 pistol (the original, not the current SIG Sauer 210) which also has a lot of trigger travel, but one gets used to it quickly. Seems the Swiss like it that way.

Not this "one". The Swiss might, but not me.

I have a Husqvarna Mauser sporter in .220 Swift. When I bought it, it had a two stage trigger. I hated it and did all I could to get used to it but finally swapped it out with a Timney that breaks crisp and clean, with no travel, at about 3 lbs. Crows are the ones who hate it now. But, even it had nowhere near as much travel as those in the video.

Rifles like that being used with irons remind me of Simo Hayha, the Finnish sniper who wreacked such havoc on the Ruskies.
