i suppose I like the Krag because of the history, how well made they are, and because they are such an interesting mechanism. There is a genius in the design that I just have to admire. I also suspect it was the most carefully machined, fitted, and finished firearm the US ever issued. It's not the greatest bolt action of its day but it certainly is an interesting one and it has a Cool factor that's hard to deny.
