Looking for Krag info

[Malamute]

I'd like to know more about Krag rifles(carbine) regarding accuracy, and if anyone has hunted larger game than deer with one. I'm also starting to look for a gun. If anyone knows of a decent shooter grade gun with original sights, I'd like to know where and how much. Thanks for any info

I got to shoot an old all original krag rifle this past august...after a good cleaning & with new ammo 180 remington loads..We had a blast with that old gun..Easy on the shoulder too...made shooting an old 03 a3 springfield 30-06 seem uncomfortable..we all prefered the feel of the older krag..the sights were pretty basic but 3inch groups were possible at 100yds..& at fiftywe were all looking like experts...I think if you wanted it for rough shooting at close range..it would be a very decent deer gun for eastern shooters...good luck ..mike in ct
