Krico rifle

jptatum
I recently recieved a Krico 308 - that has been setup for competitve silohette shooting. I obtained this gun in a will settlement. I think it is a sniper model - with the muzzle break removed and a weight added. Can some one tell me how to identify the gun and basic value.

    Recently I bought a bolt action Krico rifle, 22LR, that I can not identify.It has a 24" barrell and a european style stock with a cheek rest. The stock has schnable forend that is black. On the right side of the barrell it is marked KRIEGESPORTE & CO STUTTGART.
    On the right side of the barrell it is marked MADE IN GERMANY CAL 22 LR 309070. On the top of the barrell it is marked Krico in script inside a circle. On the left side of the receiver there are two proof marks and 67. ( I assume this means it was made in 1967. ) It has a hooded front sight and a leaf rear sight with three leaves, one is marked 75 and the other is marked 100. The third one doesn't fold down and is not marked. The butt of the stock is plastic and is marked Krico in script within a circle. The magazine is detachable and is marked Krico, in script, on the bottom. There is a smallm aluminum bedding pillar on the inside of the stock. On the inside of the action between the magazine and trigger it is marked KRJ217. It has a plastic grip cap.

    From your description of the (3) leaf rear sight, and barrel length, the rifle book identifies it as the Model 302.

    This was the basic model of the 300 series rimfire rifle, which Krico made many variations of.

    Great to hear from rufe-snow again.
    There is a mistake in my original message. The fourth line should start The leftside of the barrell. . . . According to Modern Gun Values, 11th Ed., p. 307, the model 302 was not introduced until 1982. According to the information that came with the rifle, it was bought in buffalo, NY in 1969 and cost $349.99, quite a sum for a rimfire rifle at that time. It also came to this country via Canada. Of course that does not mean that the model 302 was not made beore 1967. I think I should write Krico a letter.
    About March or April of this year I asked about a rifle called a Dickson Panther. At that time you, and few others, gave me opinions about its origin. Well I wrote John Dickson & Son in Scotland about this rifle and received no reply; I assume this means they know nothing about it. The other possibility, was that there was once an importer of cheap revolvers from Germany in Florida that was called Dickson and this was the origin. I believe this is the case.
