Marvelous rifle! Certainly the slickest and prettiest Krag sporter I have ever seen. I've had a soft spot for both 1898 Krag's and 1903 Springfield sporters ever since I saw an article in the April 1980 issue of The American Rifleman about a custom Springfield .30/06 made by Adolf Minar and owned by Jack O'Connor. That rifle is a classic "American-style" sporter, built to be hunted but with a graceful stock and just enough engraving to make it elegant. Supposedly, O'Connor carried that rifle (along with a custom Mauser in .270) on many hunts and shot it so much he had to replace the barrel 4 times! So, he must have liked it... A lot!

Krags and Springfields may not be as sleek and streamlined as '98 Mausers, and over the years I have seen lots of opinions in print that they are "heavy" and "coarse". But I'm sure if any of those so called "experts" ever got their hands on this particular Krag, those attitudes would quickly change.

As always, thank you so very much for sharing!
