As for the foreign Krags the Norwegian in 6.5x55 is a really really nice rifle. Very well made, strong and chambered for a very nice cartridge. Not very common though and the cartridge is not as nice for cast bullets as the .30-40.
The Danish Krag is chambered for an 8mm cartridge peculiar to the Krag. The rifles are well made but have some oddities, such as a barrel shroud, that, at least to me, make it less desirable as a shooter, but a nice piece for a collector.
If I ever run across a Norwegian I'm going to buy it but I would not consider giving up my Springfield version in trade.
