Krieghoff Shotguns

The Krieghoff arms company began in 1886 in Ulm Germany. Founded as Sempert & Krieghoff, they produced a wide variety of German hunting arms. In the late '50s, they tried their hand at fine sporting shotguns.

This move proved to be a wise one, as Krieghoff-branded shotguns are popular among competitors. Krieghoff is a household name among trap and skeet shooting aficionados. Their competition models, specifically the K-80 and K-20, are renowned on and off the field.

Krieghoff also produces a number of hunting shotguns including the Essencia side-by-side model. This classic design uses modern technology and Old World craftsmanship to deliver an excellent shotgun. Krieghoff produces a number of drillings as well. While they are not exclusively shotguns in nature, the shotgun component is one of the most important features of drillings.
