Leading edge five-axis machining centers, 3-D CAD workstations, computer integrated manufacturing – the engraver‘s chisel under the lighted magnifier, the stockmaker‘s palms polishing the stock with oil, the gunsmith‘s tools applying the finishing touches to the receiver: a marriage of technical perfection and handcrafted quality. This is how Hunting and Sporting Guns are perfected at Krieghoff. A marriage of technical perfection and handcrafted quality.
We are delighted that so many hunters and sport shooters are inspired by this philosophy and share our passion for perfect guns.

Still, a Krieghoff‘s life does not begin until each of its parts has been assembled into a perfect whole by the hands of a knowledgeable gunsmith. Modern production technologies are indispensable in today’s gun making, although all crucial phases during the manufacturing of a gun are still done by the hands of an experienced gunsmith. Every craftsman completes his task with love to the detail. This is our commitment and it will assure the best quality possible.

For years, engravers have artfully applied the finishing touch to guns, lending them a unique character and an expression of their worth.
Initial sketches stemming from a dialogue with the gun owner are used to produce a harmonious design encompassing motif, style and material. Krieghoff engravers have a comprehensive repertoire: from deep relief to the very finest Bulino style and from classic hunting scenes to the multifaceted ornamentations of various eras. From precious metal inlays to surface finishing – there are no limits to their creative imagination.
Using their experience, finesse and talent, our engravers create fine works of art that reflect both the passion and personality of the owner and the value and quality of an exquisite gun.

Success factors: undisturbed concentration, the right barrel, optimum bore diameter, a snug stock and effective service when shooting.

That's the way to break targets!

Reliability, durability, flexibility – these characteristics, which have proven their worth in countless competitions, have made the K-80 into a legend.
From muzzle to pad, this over & under shotgun is designed to compete. There is no hint of compromise. The development process that accompanies the K-80 from the get go ensures that it is always the most optimized shotgun with the most up-to-date features to meet the high demands of competitions & nb A comprehensive selection of forearms and comb stocks, three standard barrel lenghts and fixed or adjustable ribs enable the shotgun to be easily optimized to match the requirements of each discipline. Every K-80 can also be retrofitted with every component from the entire range of available options. The principle of compatibility keeps every K-80 up-to-date – one factor that of course also contributes significantly to its enduring value.

The K-80 breech has developed a reputation for being indestructible. In fact, it’s true that many of these shotguns have easily been able to fire over a million rounds. Since the action locks without a bottom bite, the receiver design can be shallow. The hinge is very far forward and high, which keeps the leverage generated by firing. The breech plate design is self adjusting and forms a large, very rugged locking area.

Again and again, the trigger characteristics are praised for their perfection. The trigger releases at about 1.8 kg, the ideal force. Selection is reliable: purely mechanical, with no recoil. A lever in front of the trigger is used to select the barrel shooting sequence. The length of the trigger shoe can be adjusted to suit the lengths of individual shooters fingers.

The barrels are completely exposed; that is, thermally decoupled from one another. The point where the barrels are joined is very easy to adjust. All points of contact on the barrel set are hard soldered to maximize robustness and service life. The top rib is also hard soldered*, which results in a robust, solid joint. All ribs are ventilated and come with a prominent sight with contrast insert and center bead. The shape of the rib is optimized for the various disciplines. Adjustable ribs make it easy to fine-tune the point of impact and adapt it to personal preference.
