Scope Mounts for Krico Model 300

The History of Krico Company

Krico is a well-established brand in the weapons industry, owned by a German firm, Kriegeskorte GmbH. Its origins date back to 1878, when it was founded by Robert Kriegeskorte in Esslingen am Zollberg. At first, they were a wholesaling business offering gunpowder, dynamite, ammunition, and arms; hence, Robert decided to build a powder depot. Having issues with local authorities, he moved the business to Stuttgart, where it shot up.

By 1918, the founder’s son, Max Kriegeskorte, took over the company. Ten years later, the Junghans & Kriegeskorte company was transformed into a private company and has been known as Kriegeskorte & Co. GmbH. After World War II, his son Rolf Kriegeskorte began producing household products with the help of his mother, while weapon and ammunition production was prohibited by the Allies.

In 1950, the company was permitted to produce air rifles and small caliber rifles in the following year. The production of hunting rifles began in 1954 with Model 400 for .22 Hornet and .222 Remington calibers. They designed the 600 and 700 models for heavier calibers in 1963. The company was relocated to Fürth in Bavaria in 1986, by Arndt Kriegeskorte, the son of Rolf. They entered into a strategic partnership with Dynamit Nobel in hopes of developing the Rottweil Paragon over-and-under shotgun. The project was unsuccessful and soon led to bankruptcy.

Moving to Vohburg-lrsching, the company was slowly renovated and in 1997, Krico launched its new Model 902 bolt-action repeating rifle. In 2005, they stopped the rifle’s production due to small profits in the repeating rifles market. Up to this day, Kriegeskorte GmbH has been focusing on the export, import, and storage of hunting and sporting weapons instead.

Krico Model 300 Rifle Review

Krico Model 300, also Model 300 E, is a former model bolt-action rifle. The bolt has no locking lugs; it is only locked by the bolt lever. There is a safety catch at the rear of the receiver that locks the bolt as well as the trigger. When the weapon is cocked, the back of the firing pin projects from the rear of the bolt, which serves as a cocking indicator.

The basic Model 300 E measures 970 mm (38.3-inch) in length and is accompanied by a 500 mm (19.8-inch) barrel. The detachable magazine is able to carry five cartridges. This rifle is made for short-action calibers. It was upgraded in 2000 and re-designated as the Krico Model 301.
