Hunters And Shooters Often Have A Preference For Specific Firearms

1. Hunters And Shooters Often Have A Preference For Specific Firearms Hunting and shooting are popular pastimes in many parts of the world, also in virtually every American state where children often grow up around firearms and where the youth is often encouraged from a young age to partake. This often results in the young ones learning from their fathers and the fathers’ friends about different brands of rifles and shotguns, and why many have a certain preference for specific firearms over others. Of course, brands are compared for popularity, for features such as aesthetic appeal and certainly for how well they function in terms of what they are bought for. A great example that refers will always be the Krieghoff that appeals to those hunters and shooters that set store by a great, quality firearm backed by a good name which has been admired all over the world for many years – ever since the first Krieghoff was built in 1886. As good brands do that last, Krieghoff has also developed their brand and products over time to remain a real competitor and still, today, these firearms set themselves apart from others by their great features and the name that is associated with quality, class and choice – for both the hunter and the clay target shooter and other sporting enthusiasts. Krieghoff started as Semper & Krieghoff from where it developed and started introducing more guns and rifles to carry their name forward. Today there are many choices for hunters and shooters so that everyone is given a great opportunity to own a fine gun or rifle. Some highlights that mark important stages of the Krieghoff story include their first competition shotgun in 1957, the K-32, and successes recorded by Kenneth Jones in 1966 when he became Trap World Champion with said Krieghoff K-32, and Haldeman being crowned Olympic champion in 1976 – also with the K-32. An important development took place when, in 1980, the K-80 (yes, after the year 1980) became the successor of the K-32. This is also the year that Krieghoff shotguns are first marketed in the US, by Dieter Krieghoff to be followed by the founding of Krieghoff International in the US. More models are introduced over the next few years, such as the Single Shot Hubertus rifle, the K-20 in 2000 and the women’s equivalent of the K-20 in 2018, named the “Victoria”. This short timeline gives an idea of how the company has constantly introduced – and improved – its models. Over these years the different Krieghoff offerings have discerned themselves as being the choice for hunters and shooters, often for specific reasons such as, say, great appeal in terms of design, or improved trigger systems, or because they

The hunter or shooter that prefers the Krieghoff above all others has impressive choices today, one of which, the K-80 Parcours, for example, enjoys its following. Long being favoured by many as their shotgun of choice, the Parcours is always associated with reliability and easy handling and it represents an important evolvement of the original K-80. It comes in different gauges, i.e., 12, 20 and 28 to allow for personal preference. Barrel lengths are, for example, 28”, 30”, 32” or 34” and are made to suit both the right and left-hander. The K-80 is often mentioned for the positive feedback it receives from skeet, trap and sporting clay followers, and for having become a popular shotgun at various competitions and get-togethers where leading shotguns are the order of the day. Examples include the Pro Sporter, popular with clay target enthusiasts for its soft recoil and easy handling, with reliability right up there with the best during competition. The Parcours, the K-80 Trap Special, the K-20 and various others have their following, and whether you are a competition shooter or hunter, Krieghoff is known to offer every firearm owner something special, a gun or rifle that discerns itself with distinction from many others.
