Here's my 'beater' k-31 with a mismatched stock that I paid a grand total of $59 for. It has a clamp on scope mount attached- I highly recommend these mounts. On the other end of the spectrum, the last K-31 I bought about a year ago, has a red stripe painted around the foreend of the stock signifying it was used for target competition- its the best shooter out of the bunch, it will shoot close to MOA with a scope attached and with handloads- I haven't experimented with adjusting the bedding, it could probably be capable of better. I currently have 7 of them, they all shootnearly the same- amazingly well
