Not having fondled one before I took delivery on the first one I was wondering if the diminutive size and weight would make them feel like a toy. I made the mistake of getting the fat part of my palm between my thumb and index finger caught when I closed the action. They lock up like a vault. A snapping turtle ain't got nuthin' on these dudes.
They break down and pack easy.
I prefer the Recknagel twist mounts on the K1 to the Blazer style saddle mounts on the K3. However both return to zero every time they are re-mounted
I usually go in heavy,
but broken down, it will go in the tour pack if going in light!
