Wow, cool beans. I have a 1914 Savage 99 that looks brand new. Some P.O. had it totally refinished. It is in .30WCF.
I'm not a sporter-person either, but sometimes one comes across one that is very well done like your Krag. Sometimes you will find really nice mausers that were done well, classics in their own sense. I try to hunt exclusively with classics, used various SMLE's for years, (non-sporters) use my non-sporter 03A3 once in a while. And of course my "Trapdoors". Also have two nice Argentine Mausers that get out once in a blue moon. One is a first year production, very low serial #, the other is like brand new, the blue looks just like a 1950's S&W revolver. Both unfortunately have been sported, in the style that many of those were. I'm amazed anyone would do that to a 3-didgit rifle with all matching serial numbers. ? Anyhow, now I hunt mostly with a flintlock, or one of my civil war era rifles, but if I'm in the mood for a modern rifle I'll take a classic for sure.
Okay, will search through my pics and see what I've got.
