One of my rifles just appeared in this month's American Rifleman

[USMCSGT0331]

It was quite the shock today when I opened up this month's issue of American Rifleman. Bruce Canfield did an entire article on my Krag sniper rifle! He used the photos from the 2018 auction I purchased the rifle from. I'm pretty sure I've posted this rifle here before, but I can't find any old threads. @cplnorton helped me with a ton of research and documentation for this gun. The article is cool, but Steve's help has always been invaluable!

Yep, my serial number:

One of mine was in Shooting Illustrated. When I opened the box after I bought it I found the papers where Mr. Melloni returned it after the evaluation. My son and I traded chassis' so it doesn't look the same anymore.

I read the article the other day and thought it was interesting. Super cool that it resides with a Hide member!

My dad was showing me the article the other day. I was like, the rifles owner is on snipershide. That is such a cool rifle. Iv always wanted a Krag. Such a unique rifle, the magazine always interested me as a youngster growing up.

Yea buddy.
Now it has some provenance … Any Publicity is good Publicity.
Quite a nice retro artifact BTW.

I don't have the article in front of me but there was something about the scope sizes. Can't recall if it was diameters or something of the sort. Does anyone know what that pertained too? Wondering if it was lense diameter multiplied to give the length.
