Thread: Krico Model 300 .22LR modernization

Still got my 300 that dad bought almost 55 years ago. It'll go to one of my boys.

That's pretty cool Mathias. I too have just taken possession of my fathers one which he bought brand new about 62 I think. This rifle is just a plain jane Krico, nothing fancy but as kids we put a staggering amount rounds through it over the years, there was barely a day that it wasn't used other than when we were at that pesky boarding school bull shit. It can be fed any ammo, mixed lots, just whatever is in your pocket and it still shoots freakily accurate. It will be one of the last that I ever part with. The value in dollars is nothing, the sentimental value...priceless. When I was first allowed to shoot on my own (dare I say it about 10 years old) he would give me three bullets, no mag, no scope. When I could consistently bring back three bunnies (it took a while too) I was given the privilege of a bonus mag and scope.

Awesome. Mines plain jane too and shoots with anything as you mentioned. I only scoped it about 30yrs ago but foolishly chopped & suppressed, regretting that later when I understood the sentiment attached. It's had a phenomenal amount of ammo through it by many in the family.
