I used my Kragrifle at The Western Games a few years back. Lots of odd stares and curious folks. The rifle ran just fine no hiccups at all. Rapid string was different with the rapid re-load. I load 45 grains of 4831 with and high-end 168gr bullet. Easy recoil and a fun day, even if it was hot at Phoenix. Just bring plenty of cold water and enjoy.
