For the unclean and unwashed, what, exactly, is the fascination with Krags? Is it simply their place in history? Or do they have some intrinsically desirable features that are readily apparent to the cognoscenti that are lost on us heathens forever stuck in and on the 19th century?

What I see is a gangling action with a big footlocker-sized shoe box hanging off one side and what appears to be seriously weaken bridge between the wrist and fore stock.

I don't mean to disparage, but I'm obviously missing something when it comes to Krags that is even more fundamental than simply an aesthetic appreciation for bolt actions in general.
