I have a long "Norwegian" Krag built by Steyr in 1897. It is a beautiful rifle.

I have a US 1898 Krag and it’s a blast to shoot. I reload to army specs (220 gr round nose clocked in at 2000fps) and have taken it hunting a few times too. It is more accurate than I am. Would love to get my hands on a Danish Krag one day.

I have an 1898 Krag built in 1899 full length Infantry rifle and I absolutely love the thing. I just wish .30-40 ammo was more commonly available. I’ve only been able to shoot it a couple times. I’m definitely going to load for it.

Same here. I’ve got one made in ‘02. I can usually find rounds on gunbroker. Hornady also does I think two batches a year of them. Still pricey enough to reload if you have the tools

I have 2 US Krags and 1 Norwegian 1912/22 carbine. I will say I prefer the sights and action on the US Krag, but love the rimless cartridge and accuracy of the norwegian.

Which US rear sight do you prefer? I'm shooting an 1896 in the video. I have another with a 1902 sight and just got a 1901 for the Krag I'm making a stock for.

I took my U.S. 1898 Krag out yesterday. I'd been holding back on shooting it until I realized a had a lot more ammo for it than I thought I did. I'm assembling reloading equipment with the specific intention of filling up all my empty R-P Krag brass. I'd like to reload with 220 RN bullets. Anyhow, after a bit of dialing in yesterday, I could pretty reliably hit a foot-square gong at 150 yards. Not bad: The Krag and I together have a combined age of about 180 years. That Norwegian Krag is a beauty!

Started learning to shoot the Krag on 328 yard range. The 10 point target is 150 mm (5,9 inches), the 9 point you add 75 mm. When I got decent, I shot most shots either 9 or 10 (within 8,85 inches). The black (from 7 points and in) was 600 mm or 23,5 inches approx. Have in mind that this is using diopter sights and a shooting jacket with the sling tightened to your arm. I never got around to buy a Krag, but used the club rifles we had. Later I bought the more modern Sauer 200 STR (Very similar to the SSG 3000 sniper). You, without diopter sights and sling and jacket hitting a foot square gong at 150 yards is not bad at all. Was it prone, or standing?

Very nice!! It is quite rare to see pics/videos of all three of these beauty Queens all together. My complements on the retoration of the norwegian carbine... now that was impressive!

One of my dream gun ! Beautiful rifles, well made and so smooth.

Thank you for a great video, good to see all three nationalities. I'm hoping to get a Danish Krag soon :)

I just rebuilt a springfield 96. I love it and it shoots great. I made a link to this video on my youtube page as an extension to my Krag Video. I like you have the three models.

Thanks for doing the video. I have 3 US Krags. A ‘96 rifle, ‘96 carbine and a ‘99 School Rifle. Would love one in 6.5x55.

I have the same 1896 model US Krag and was wondering if you where having a problem with it shooting to the right. Mine shoots about 2 inches right at 50 and 3 inches to right at 100 yards and was curious if you know of any ways to fix that? thanks.

Unfortunately that's the major limitation of the 1896 sight, there's no way to adjust the windage. Mine shoots a few inches to the left at 100yd and the only way to accommodate that is with Kentucky windage. The later sights, the 1898, 1901 and 1902 models all have adjustable windage, though to swap them onto your rifle you'd need the same model handguard which is hard to find.

This shows how smooth the Krag can be. Shoot and hit as many shots as possible in 20 seconds (Notice range also). Getting off 16 rounds in 20 seconds with a Krag sounds impossible, but... Enjoy! 😄 kzread.info/dash/bejne/l3dowclvfpbHfKQ.html

He is snatching the trigger from a full 1/4” off the front, and snatching through the 2 stage trigger. It is painful to watch. I know he did not ask for advice, but if he’s interested in shooting better, all he has to do is start with his finger on the trigger then gently take up all the slack of the first stage then gently squeeze back just a little at a time to make the rifle go off. His shooting will improve literally 1000%.
