Re: 1923 Norwegian Krag
I will eliminate all options before replacing the barrel. I’ve took the scope off, checked the mounts, installed a different scope, even tried the original sights. At 66 my good eye is not very good up close and I have a hard time with the military sights. Group ran about 12” at 75 yds, about the sa...
