Well, the .22 Gallery Practice Krag rifle was made by Springfield Armory. The Pope Stevens .22 Krag was not a complete rifle but
was a barrel made by Pope to replace the regular barrel on a Model
1898 rifle. The bore was off center to allow the bolt to catch the rim of the .22 case and eject it. This does not always happen in
which case I use a cleaning rod to poke out the empty. I have
found that .22 shorts work best. I paid $2200.00 for my Pope
barreled Model 1898. Phil Schrier happened to be at the show
and he looked it over and said if I didn't jump on it he definitely
would. It is in immaculate condition and looks brand new. The pictures look correct. The Springfield Armory model is marked
.22 caliber rimfire. My rifle is fairly accurate for 200 yd. shooting
at clay pigeons and is fun to shoot .
