If you want to play around it is fine, but it won't do anything for accuracy. About 30 years ago I was at the range with a 30-40 Krag sporter I had re-set the stock on. These two guys showed up with ground hog rigs. Both had fluted stainless barrels, synthetic stocks, and high end scopes. $2500-$3000 easy. I shot against the one guy which I think had a 22-250AI. Anyway, it was some kind of AI. 3 rounds each, @ 100 yards, same target-bystanders as judges. It was sad. I put 3 shots inside his group. That Krag would shoot 3 shot groups that you could cover with a quarter all day. It might be fun to do, but I would not expect a whole lot out of it.
