Everything was put into accuracy and fine workmanship,no decorative frills. I have a classic Springfield Sporter he built for my DAD in 1947 after the War, I keep at my Cabin in Montana with a 2.5x Lyman Alaskan. I don't hunt it a lot anymore but when I do it hasn't changed zero a bit! Jerry


Do you think Sukalle stocked this Krag? I've never seen a rifle he stocked, so have no frame of reference. When I saw the auction it seemed to me that it was a Sukalle rifle that was probably restocked in the 70's or 80's.
