Receiver sight on Norsk Krag

Post by Brent »

This video shows some truly special Krag-Jorgenson shooting.

The video is Norsk, but one doesn't need to understand Norwegian to understand the skill of the shooting. But my question for you guys is what is the sight on the Krag rifle? You can see the best views of it beginning around the 4:45 mark if you wish to jump ahead.

Thanks,
Brent
PS. Pretty interesting, the crowd of spectators, music, television coverage etc. Norwegians know a think or three about shooting.

Sort of looks like this one. It's a Busk.

It sure does look like that. I've never heard of Busk. Can you tell us more. Is it modern made? American? Available anywhere?

Hi,
Just Google Busk diopter and you will receive a wealth of information, and be sure to check out the images too.

I'll give it a try. I did that in Ebay and I found LOTS of things to look at, but no sights.
