It would be a fun time to have some sort of military rifle match at Roosevelt, and again at Armijo Springs next year. James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.

We have a military shoot at or club in western PA every April and ANYTHING goes as long as it was used in a military and must have irons (receiver sights good too). Brings out a bunch of neat stuff - I usually use my K31 but have used krags and springfields (the younger crowd calls a bunch of us "old school" as about all they shoot are "black" rifles - but hey at least they are shooting!! it is fun to whoop up on them with a vintage rifle ). Just picked up a Norwegian Krag in 6.5X55 that I want to use next year. PennDog Last edited by PennDog; 07/22/16.

I gifted that top Krag to another local Campfire member who was generous to me. So I had a slot open for this new one. The middle Krag in Colorado after elk. I sweated on a new front sight and installed a handguard from S&S firearms that does not have rear sight cut out. Also sports Redfield (#70?) receiver sight. Not D&T. Just have to modify magazine cutoff. Last edited by kaywoodie; 07/23/16. Founder Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester "Come, shall we go and kill us venison?

Nothing finer than a good Krag. Slick action, accurate, and a natural pointability added up to a great combo. Box magazine hanging off the side makes for an ugly gun?

The Krag I previously pictured was an old family gun - my late father and both his brothers got their first deer with it, many moons ago. It stills shoots well, though it has a fairly rough patch of pitting in the bore. After killing a doe with it, I gave it to an uncle, and I think one of his grandsons now has it. They weren't excited when I discussed how to load for it This is why I don't have a Krag at the moment: The Ruger .30-40 can take loads that are much heavier than safe in a Krag. At some point I'll acquire another Krag and revisit mild .30-40 loads. "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

Mesa Campfire Tracker M Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 3,153 OC, CA	My only Krag is a .22 Hornet made from a Krag action sometime in the 1920s. Single shot of course, but a nice sporter, professionally built with a checkered pistol grip stock that covers the magazine opening. Suffers from using a .223 bore and 1/16" twist from being barreled with a Winchester .22 rimfire barrel. But with the right bullets and load, she still shoots very well. Krag actions are stronger than people think and were rebarreled to many different cartridges back in the day. The real trick was getting the new rounds to feed in the old magazine. A friend has a .25-35 conversion that feeds great. Some don't. Was Mike Armstrong. Got logged off; couldn't log back on. RE-registered my old call sign, Mesa. FNG. Again. Mike Armstrong

Well he kinda fell in love with the old Krag so I just went a gave it to him. With a fresh box of 220 grain hog thumpers. Yesterday evening down on the creek! I think he's happy!

It has an early Weaver K2.5 in a Weaver "N" side mount installed. It is in the used gun rack, not the Gun Library, but I'm sure that the Gun Library guys would pull it and give you their opinions if you ask. 402-861-4800

Krag's have got soul, and a well tuned .30-40 is a fine arm.
