Lovely rifles! Just keep in mind that the Krag actions (the Norwegian at least) is not suitable for the modern pressurized 6,5x55 SM ammunition. I guess its the same with the 8x57 as well, they made a "8x57 Moderat" with a weaker load. There's also supposedly an issue with a change of POI in rain due to the locking lugs not being aligned - or something.

I'm no expert and have never fired a Krag myself even though I got a match version two stories down so take the above with a grain of salt as it's information I "grew up with".

Maybe someone else would correct me?
