The N3 would be the higher one. You may have to use the higher one for bolt clearance. The old list of the Q, U, N, and B mounts that I have doesn't have the Krag on it, however. It's a copy someone gave me out of an old Shooter's Bible. It seems to me there were some N mounts made that take a 7/8" tube like the Lyman Alaskan and several others. The Alaskan is a bit pricey now a days, however.
Found a pic of a list online, N2 and N3 are the right ones for the Krag, with N3 being the higher one. They are a solid mount, but wheter or not you have enough adjustment on your scope will likely depend on how good a job the machinist did getting the holes parallel to the bore line. A lot of 3/4 inch scopes are short on eye relief for shooting highpower rifles as they are meant for the low recoil of the 22LR. For example the Realist 3/4" scopes only had a 2" eye relief. Probably wouldn't be much of a problem with the recoil of a Krag as long as one has a good hold on the rifle. Weavers have a more generous eye relief of 3-3.5" |
