Schmidt-Rubin K11 (1911) bolt action Swiss rifle with NO IMPORT MARKS!

PM me!
SOLD!
This is a Schmidt-Rubin K 11 Swiss rifle chambered in 7.5 x 55 mm. (Not to be confused with the K31, which also is chambered in the same round.)
If I remember right, Schmidt designed the rifle, and Rubin designed the cartridge, which is also called the 7 1/2 mm.
Cool thing about this rifle is that it holds 7 in the removable cartridge! It is also a straight bolt design, in which you pull straight back and push straight in, which is odd for a bolt action rifle. But the action works great! What's cool too, is when the spent cartridge ejects, it goes straight up into the air, every single time in the exact same spot. (I got good at catching the spent round when it came back down).
This is what some call the forgotten collectors rifle from WWI and WWII. Although it wasn't used in those wars, it's what the Swiss had and used in the Swiss Army/Militia, as every male citizen had to keep one, and this is what kept them neutral. Thus, a must have for collectors!
Also, this rifle has no import marks!
Anyway, I asked around and found that these are very hard to find. Gander mountain in P'cola had a couple for sale when they first opened, and they were selling for $499. They sold out quickly, and have never gotten them in again. BTW, those did have import marks!
Several people told me that w/o import marks, there is a premium on this rifle. I don't know, but I did get the opinion of several guys I trust, and they told me to post it for $600. So that's what I'm asking.
These rifles are real tack-drivers! I bought one box of ammo and shot it and was very impressed with how accurate this rifle was. (Swiss perfection!) I was going to shoot the whole box, but decided to save 6 bullets for whoever buys this. They are included with the sale, as well as the spent cartridges for reloading. (It was tough not to shoot the whole box, as it's so fun to shoot!)
Rounds aren't that hard to find for this, and are not too expensive. You can get them about .50 a round. (Unless you pay over a dollar each like I did at Uber's). Here's a good place to buy some in bulk online...

So that's about it. I would keep this rifle for myself, but don't have any room for it. It is awesome though, and fun to shoot! I hope it finds a good home.
P.S. It is confirmed that this is the carbine model! /B]
