Maiden22 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Very expensive and very ugly. Think they're good quality guns though. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 know a few people that shoot them, popular DTL guns i seem to recall. Supposed to be the best of the best and Bullet proof. The person i know who had one and had broken it, he got a letter from the head of Krieghoff asking him to stop abusing their gun. He shoot about 500,000 carts a year (drives a bentley lives at clay grounds.....you know the type) Ugly guns, supposed to be good, if you can afford to think about getting one you can afford to go to Bisley and get their gunshop to let you go and have a play with some Berettas, krieg. Blaser, Perrazi etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulos Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 I know a few that have them and I've shot them myself. Fantastic to shoot, but I prefer something with a little more grace ie. Perazzi, Beretta DT10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InGen Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 hum the quality looks good but for the price that what you would expect out of the average shooters price range i think well out of mine lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodmedod.one Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 One of the Guns has a Krieghoff at a shoot I beat on. He is absolutely mustard with it (but I don't think he would be rubbish with a Baikal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john faul Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 i know quite a few dtl shooters who use them most use them to great success but one lad had a 12000 euro one and is now shooting much better with a 4000 euro kemen its all down to personal preference but they are a very nice gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 There is a chap at my local clayground who uses one (extremely well, I've never seen him drop a shot at skeet), and I have to say that it is a gorgeous gun. If I was ever going to go solely onto clays, and was minted, I would consider one. ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 One lad at the A6 Gun Club blew the end off his barrel on his new Krieghoff. The new barrels were allegedly bigger bore and the old chokes stuck out slightly in the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trussman Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 My grandfather said he would always take a Colt M1911 .45 pistol with him when out Buffalo hunting. The idea was that if he did wound a buffalo, he could climb up a tree to escape. As you'll know, a wounded buffalo is gonna be a tad p***** off and will lurk around the bottom of the tree eager for revenge. If my grandfather dropped his rifle, he could drill the animal through the head with the pistol. Never happened to him but would have been interesting if it did.
