Though I think I might go for what Local has on his or Butler's I like things centered. But it does give a strange unique quality to the rifle and in the Willamette valley and surrounding area's 100 yards is about what everybody does for max.

	The additional photos make it clear that 'spectrum' has a Weaver top-mount base, (with pivot-rings), that has been improvised into a side-mount. I wonder if the original 'user' aimed with his Left Eye, while shooting Right-Handed? The off-set is much greater with this rig, than with the Weaver Side-Mounts, made for U.S. Krag receivers. 'Spectrum' is correct about the Ocular Lens Housing, of a regular side-mounted scope, interfering with operation of an unaltered Krag safety-lever. The cut-off lever, however, is not obstructed. (IMHO - A Weaver No. 2 side-mount base will fit his hole spacing). It is nteresting how the scope is rotated 90 degrees so that elevation knob becomes windage and windage knob becomes elevation.

If your interested, here's a different option for mounting a scope to the top of your barrel. (You need to *Login* to view media files and links) The screw holes on the side of the receiver can be easily filled with set screws or by any other means you choose. The setup I have is for a scout scope configuration with a long eye relief. That link no longer works. Just Google "Krag sight rails," and you will be able to find the new web site.

I've been busy with school and keeping grades up. But I haven't done much of anything with the Krag yet. I was looking at some places that might help in doing a new stock but I think I'll end up trimming it down myself so I can use it left handed and I'll check out that side now. I might see about getting a scout scope for it for the extended eye relief and just do that and find some screws to plug the existing holes, is my current plan.
