Our Assessment: The Kreighoff K80 needs no introduction…. It is the Rolex or Rolls-Royce of the shooting world. It is the gun that just about every shooter wants to add to the safe or arsenal for the range. The gun can literally take thousands of rounds and shooters trust these guns to take the abuse of serious competition. With that being said, this one is all ready for you to hit the range to compete, it comes with an air-cushioned stock, and sub-gauge tubes for 20, 28, and 410 gauge so you can shoot a variety of rounds. This shotgun has seen some use but still has lots of its original finish and good bores. Please see our photos and good luck!
