Krieghoff K80 Parcours Test & Review

[@enoughyoutube9723]

I have a K-80 Trap Special. It’s a beautiful clay busting tool. It works every time. Balance is exceptional. Trigger is the absolute best in the industry.

[@mallardcutter7209]

I have shot the K80 and the Parcours model. I prefer the heavier K80. The Parcours is very light in the barrel and along with that comes more recoil and a more “ whippy “ feel to it. The Model 32 Krieghoff was a fantastic gun also. The K80 just has better triggers and a hardened receiver. If you come across a Model 32 don’t be afraid to get one. You can have the triggers upgraded to the same ones that the K80 has. Barrels can be fitted very easily between both models.

[@c0lutch]

Great info! I just inherited multiple model 32s and while I can’t keep them all, this info is useful. Thanks!

[@FYMM69]

K80 is second to none and matched with 34” parcour barrels it’s the cream of the crop

[@keithhickam2548]

Recently was gifted a k-80 by my wife, amazing gun now I just need to learn to shoot it.

[@tgsoutdoors]

That is an amazing gift!

[@gregs9218]

A great review- the K80 parlours is an exceptional gun. The looks are marmite and grow on you. However when you get one that fits you there is nothing else that handle like them just ask Ed Solomon’s, Ben Hustwhaite or Mark Windsor … simply the best you can get

[@JustinRockefeller137]

Krieghoff is one of the highest quality shotguns ever produced and also one of the most expensive. Many people aspire to own them. Kreighoff also uses the world’s top shotgun engravers such as G. Stoegner (aka G. Stogner) who has created 7 Krieghoff “Guns of the Year,” more than any engraver. Recently, a G. Stoegner gun sold for more than $100,000 US on the secondary market. The #2 Kreighoff engraver is Jana Schilling, whose 2009 Krieghoff Gun of the Year also sold for $110,000 US at Pacific Sporting Arms in February 2024 (call and ask them). Kreighoff shotguns are a good investment and store of value, like high end collectible cars - the better engravers almost always bring a financial premium when they are resold. Other top Krieghoff engravers are #3. Goeser, 4. Reich, 4. Nonn (tie), and 5. Creative Arts.

[@TurdFregusonK80]

Krieghoff doesn’t need to constantly reinvent or redesign the K-80. It’s perfect just the way it is and I’m proud to own two of them.

[@shadowk7214]

Here in the USA, PA to be exact, yes there’s a lot of Krieghoff shotguns. What I never see or hear about is how often these guns have to be serviced in Ottsville, PA. Most everyone I shoot with sends there’s back once a year. Guys with Kolars and Beretta DT 11’s don’t seem to be doing that. Especially the Kolars! Not trying to start an argument, just my observation and discussions with owners of them.

[@dannunnya3666]

[@friehuc7086]

The actual K80 with the two piece metal forend do have a set screw for the spacer. By that the re-adjustment is a job of 2 minutes. 👍🏻

[@MrPrimatori]

For such beautiful guns, I still dont understand why they dont chrome their barrels. You need to keep on top of maintenance and clean the barrels well after every shoot. Surprised Johnny didnt mention that with the barrels section.

[@kylesteffen8719]

They are chrome barrels

[@MrPrimatori]

@@kylesteffen8719 they are not, they are polished steel like perazzi. Perazzi and Krieghoff us polished steel unlike other manufacturers who chrome line their barrels. Chrome is a little harder and less likely to corrode etc. I was simply pointing out that you need to stay on top of cleaning the barrels with ALL guns but more so with polished steel.

[@arthur703]

A Krieghoff gun is beyond reproach in terms of workmanship and quality, yet I find the design stale. Beretta, Perazzi or Longthorne are far ahead of Krieghoff in terms of design, in my opinion. Of course, the design is always a matter of taste, but a weapon that you like, you simply prefer to take in hand, right?

[@borkwoof696]

By "design" I presume you mean in aesthetic regards?

Italian guns are like Jag/Land Rover, beautiful to look at ….. (I’ll not add anymore to that sentence as you know what would come next😉) . Would I own one? I Have done and now shoot a K80, another level simple as that. Basic K80 does look plain, but step up the wood and engraving and they’re truly stunning, you just don’t see many of the higher level ones around, leaving people assuming they’re all plain dull looking guns. Those that know know. All in my opinion of course.

[@erichfouke3677]

I’m a little bit confused or just dumb. Didn’t Remington create the 3200 and sell it to Krieghoff to become the K80? I guess that makes it legendary.

[@stefstefanovic4810]

Remington created model 32. Krieghoff bought rights on that gun and started manufacturing K32/80. Rem 3200 is unique Remington design and manufactured shotgun with top latch locking system, split free floated barrels common to Krieghoff but that's it. Everything else is different.

Love the cinematics in this video. A review of a super sport that you can actually shoot would be great lmao. Looking to get one for my next gun and no one else other than Loyd has a video on it. And well... Its a good video but lacks the cinematics. Overall just prefer your way of reviewing guns.

Tweedl ist not giving away this 17k gun. He is selling 1399 tickets for £ 20 each. That's nearly £ 26.000. So he earns about £ 9.000 more than if he would sell the gun itself! And if he would sell less than 70% of the tickets, which would be about £ 19.600, the winner doesn't get the gun, he's getting some undefined amount of money instead. This ist not a give away by any means. It's earning more money by giving the feeling to "win" something! (Sorry for my english.)
