Krieghoff – A Name That Stands Out Above Most Others

1. Krieghoff – A Name That Stands Out Above Most Others Hunters and competition shooters all have their own preferences when it comes to the discipline they enjoy most, whether that refers to deer hunting, wing-shooting, or sporting clay shooting activities. Of course the shooter will always choose the rifle or gun best suited to their specific discipline and profile. When it comes to the choice of shotguns, the name Krieghoff is often mentioned when the best, most admired brands are discussed. The name itself is associated with class, quality and reliability and goes back to the 1880s in Ulm, Germany, when it was introduced for the first time. It was founded by Sempert and Krieghoff and has since grown into one of the most recognized names among shotgun enthusiasts, especially after the 1950s and 1960s when it became popular as a competition gun. Today the Krieghoff name is truly big in the US. The gun is used by various individuals for recreational purposes in the US and elsewhere, and most often by those that enjoy competitive clay shooting. Krieghoff is known for superior design features that include attention to detail in terms of which not only the internal components receive due attention, but also various aesthetic aspects. In fact, shooters that want to add a special, personalized touch to their Krieghoff, can do so if they find a good gunsmith with the expertise to ensure their gun meets certain individual expectations. In the US, for example, a good gunsmith can assist the shooter looking for such customization. But, importantly, deal only with a good factory authorized service center, of which there are currently – in 2022 – only three in the country. This way you will ensure you get a great service offered by someone that understands the Krieghoff like few others. Shooters with a preference for clay target shooting, skeet and trap are often the ones that are drawn to the Krieghoff gun, for its reputation as a leading gun for enthusiasts whose preference these disciplines are. Popular examples for the sporting clay enthusiast, for example, are the Krieghoff K-80 30” Pro Sport, as is the Krieghoff K-80 34” KTW Pro Parcours. These guns are mentioned for qualities such as being reliable, durable and flexible. They are favored over a wide front among competition shooters and are considered to be true high-end shotguns meant for the connoisseur. The K-80, for example, followed the K-32 which served as a good introduction for the brand into the world of competition shooting. The K-80, as is suggested by its name, was introduced in 1980 and has, since then, built on its name as a favored competition shotgun. Krieghoff has always been known for their innovative approach to design and discerning features; therefore they constantly improve on what the market offers. The K-80, for example, offered some changes on its predecessor, such as an improved trigger mechanism and adding certain ergonomic features to the shaft, making it for many a great example of the type of competition shotgun they would be proud to call their own. Other adjustments were offered with regard to replaceable chokes, adding to its versatility.

More changes would follow to allow for specific preferences such as, say, different barrel lengths so that a variety of ribs and replacement chokes enable the shooter to adapt to different challenges when they set out to compete. There is also the K-80 Parcours if you prefer a lighter Krieghoff if you find the K-80 to be too heavy on the swing. In addition to the K-80, shooters also can choose from other options, such as the K-20 Parcours and other examples from that range. The name Krieghoff is already a leading brand – choices to suit personal preferences are available to suit all competition shooters and those that acquire these guns for their specific purposes.
