Used them for many years in my Swiss K31s. Cannot say if they are "subdued" or not. Happy with their performance in one of my K31s which shoots under 1 MOA which is quite incredible for a mil....

Well..the mobile mechanic here in Taupo came round. Drained the tank with a pump and dropped the filter etc. Put some fresh diesel in and and away she went. Marty reckons it sounds fine, if not...
