The krag sucked as a military service rifle and we paid for it in the Spanish American War and the Boxer Rebellion is China. Glacially slow reloading process..
Ever own one? Much faster than 700s, model 70s, or other modern bolt actions. But clip fed rifles were faster.
No desire to, all one needs to do is READ accounts on how bad the Krags SUCKED at San Juan and Kettle Hills and then again I don't consider a model 70 and especially a pos 700 as "fighting rifles". The Lee Enfield was not only also clip fed but the cock on closing is faster than the Mauser and 03 (a plagiarized 98 anyway) AND it held TWICE the number of rounds. This is like a no brainer folks..
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
