I have a sporterized 30/40 I've been considering scoping. I found S&K has no-gunsmith mounts but they aren't cheap. I don't know if they'll fit non US Krags though.WOODS 0 -
We did this just a short while ago. All thescoped Krags I have seen used side mountswhich requires drilling & tapping the left side of the receiver which is anathemato the Krag lovers of course. It may also be possible to use a long eye relief scope attached to the barrel using the dove tailslot for the rear sight. 0 -
As much as I dislike this company, B-square make a reasonably priced mount for your Krag, I used it on mine.

Due to the almost straight up ejection of the Krag action it is difficult to mount any scope center of action, My uncle built A special mount that has two screws forward of the action in the barrel and a tensioning screw at the rear, the scope sets about 1/2 inch off the center and he adjusted the ejector and extractor to clear, he claims he got the idea from one of the Howe books on gunsmithing. 0 -
Thanks a bunch,one and all.I will report the findings to Knut.He is in Norway so what he does with his Krag 8mm will have no bearing on our military collectors.Thanks again.modoc 0 -
THERE IS NO DOVETAIL FOR THE REAR SIGHT 0 -
My Krag has the rear sight missing & a peepsight installed in place of the cut-offlever. There is a dove-tail in the rear of the barrel that is .570" wide across the barrel & .300" at the top of the dovetail &.390" at the bottom. Of course this rifle has been sporterized & it is possible that this is a replacement barrel or that the dovetail could have been cut in later. 0
