Beautifully done sporter. Some of the old jobs were very well done and are still great shooters putting meat on the table every year..... That you can find ammo. You have to be dedicated to spend the money to practice a few rounds and then hunt.

It must've been a trip hunting with your original rifle shown. That big ol' 30" barrel -- you could poke the deer/moose in the eye with that thing haha!

Yeah when we grew up each of us boys got to use Uncles Krag when we passed Hunters Safety and went for our first year. I Needed a Tree to rest the thing I was only a 102lb 12yr old that was even height with the rifle. I`m sure it looked funny as can be but i can tell you I was so proud to use it I felt 10ft tall. She only gets a handful of shots a year at the range these days.

It's hard not to feel a little strength from our ancestors from these old rifles. It's like grabbing hold of a time machine. The men that carried these, the lives saved, the lives taken, the families fed. It's sobering to think of what they've been a part of.
