Range time

<r>They say it will be cold by this weekend, so I thought I'd get in some range time before it does. I'm shooting 175 grain cast, over 15 grains of 2400. That puts em where I'm looking at 10-50yrds using the battle sight.<IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Att...

Re: My Shooter

For that sight try leeshop@starband.net. He has such stuff. He is mostly a Winchester guy, but has much good stuff.

Re: 1896 sight on an 1898 Krag

That is a fine looking rifle. I'd say you are about right on the price. I hope that you can get it for that.

Re: Scope Mount Recommendation

<r>Scout scopes mount ahead of the action. On a Mauser or 03 you can load using stripper clips.You can often mount them in the rear sight base, so not harming the rifle. They are low power, usually 1X no more than 2X and have a different eye relief that a pistol scope. They do not limit your field o...

I have my camera on the lowest setting, and still have to really crop my phots. What am I doing wrong?

Re: 1896 sight on an 1898 Krag

<r>Remington,<br />I am assuming that you are talking about a straight military rifle. I have sent pictures of my lattest, I paid $650 for it, and thought that fair. I would not take less than $800 for it. They are hard to come by locally, and it is $50 shipping. The bore is very good, and it shoots...

Re: headspace fix

If the rifle is straight military, you may have a proublem. If your rifle has been sporterized,you may screw the barrel in more to fix the head spacing. This is not a home job, because it requires a lathe. What is wrong with the bolt? Does it lock tight? I know a good gun smith here, but am a long w...
