Bob, that's a fine buck and a first class rifle! Careful or the 1895's will protest.

Congratulations on a nice Hill Country buck, Bob!
Love the Krag !
I’ve got Dad’s all original Carbine I found for him in a pawn shop nearly 30 years ago.
Need to get it out and shoot some hogs with it.
Gotta find some ammo first. 🤠

Great stuff all the way around. Congrats KW!
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Bob, are you taking it after elk this year? No, no taking my old Husqvarna 9.3 x 62 I put together. Mauser 30/06 for back up.

k what a nice deer and a really cool rifle to get out in the woods with. Sure looks like the neighborhood is getting back to fine deer cover if your growing bucks like that nearby. Enjoy the rest of the season. Thanks for the pictures . Yours drew out some other very nice examples of the fine work turned out at the Springfield Armory.
I used to only shoot shotguns and rimfires, then I made the mistake of getting a subscription to handloader.......
