Krico questions?

The actions were basically the same for all 300 series .22lr rifles.
They also made a Kitzman type straight pull Biathlon rifle in .22lr.
They modified their basic .22lr bolt by adding lugs behind the bolt handle base to make it suitable for .22 Hornet.(400 series)
The most interesting thing I find about Krico .22's is the number of trigger types that they offered, single,single adjustable,single set,double set,electronic.
Rifles of the World(John Walter) has some info and a few pics.(Google)
I have the Krico M330S Glen formerly owned.(we think it's a M330S)
Though there is nothing on the rifle itself that would indicate the model number and it does not exactly match any pictures I have seen.
Krico had the habit of changing components in mid stream,for reasons unknown to me.

I've had two Krico .22LR's, one of them the 330S referred to above. The other had a different action, similar to the Anschutz 64. As flyr notes of the 330S, there was nothing on the rifle to indicate which model it was.
CGN member Johan22 has familiarity with Krico sporter rifles.
The 330S receiver and trigger group without the bolt (I don't have any bolt photos). This trigger is very nice.
The sporter model receiver and trigger (I don't remember the model number) and its bolt

Ok, thanks for the replies, I've seen and handled what I believe are 300 series sporters, which seem like very well made rifles, however I'm looking at pictures of one that a seller sent me and when the bolt handle is locked down, the root of the bolt is just ahead of the trigger guard. On the 300 series, the bolt root, when locked down, is more centered in the trigger guard. That's why I'd like to know if they made a lesser/weaker action, more like the Anschutz Flobert action? Gorgeous mannlicher Chasseur! I'm definitely envious of that one, how does it shoot?
I also have a 1418, I like it very much, but the trigger, when unset, is over 10 lbs, the scale I tried on it went to 10 and it was over that, the rifle can only be shot in set mode. I'd like to find someone to work on it. One of my "holy grail" rifles is a Walther KKJ Mannlicher.
