UGLY is sort of in the eyes of the beholder. All of us like Krags here but you have to admit that there are nicer looking rifles around. We get past that because the Krag has other qualities that function, durability smoothness of operation that make them desirable in our eyes.
Have not handled Kraghaus rails to know their fit and finish, but they can help us old guys with old eyes shoot better without ruining a Krag barrel or action. A lot to be said for that, the more you think about that the better they look.
