However, the Krag is the only bolt action that can be loaded with a round in the chamber.

Off the top of my head I have at least 8 models of bolt action rifle which can be loaded with a round in the chamber.  The oldest bolt action rifle I have, perhaps the first bolt action rifle made in this country, and the newest I have, a Remington 700, can be loaded that way.  Bolt action rifles with box magazines, tubular magazines, and rotary magazines can all be loaded with a round in the chamber. 

The box magazine rifles are easier to load with mitten on than the Krag as you're not playing with individual cartridges.
