Looking at an 1896 Krag, opinions welcome

[Littlejohn]

LJ, I like it. I can't pass these up if the price is right. Granted they aren't a big "collector" rifle, but I consider myself a collector and have collected several cut down Krag rifles. I think the 03 front sight is the way to go. Also the 1896 it is a little more rare than an 1898. I have one with the exact same scope mount. An old Weaver or Lyman Alaskan would make the whole package look a little more vintage. Salt Flat

I'm liking this one more and more. I took it to the range today to see what she could do. I fired 9 rounds off the bench at 25 yards. It was right at point of aim and had several holes touching. I'm more than happy with that from a 117 year old rifle.

Never heard of "srin ield Armory" before but, they sure do make a nice rifle.!!....

Bubba picked the perfect spot for the holes, and didn't even bother to deburr them. Sheesh!
