“Nothing epitomizes the skills and experience needed for a successful hunt like taking game with a classic double rifle. Prized by dangerous game hunters for years the classic double rifle provides the security and reliability when each shot really counts. The Krieghoff CLASSIC double rifle combines the heritage of the traditional side-by-side and the sophistication of the most modern design and manufacturing technology. The CLASSIC is available in the most common and suitable calibers. Krieghoff’s master gunmakers combined both traditional wisdom and innovative ideas to build a rifle that provides the ultimate in safety and reliability and a wide range of features that ensure smooth, quick, and accurate shooting. In addition to the superb handling of the rifle, a most important feature is the manual cocking device, which is located on the top tang, in the position usually occupied by a conventional safety. It allows carrying the CLASSIC fully loaded with the hammers uncocked – the safest position since there is no chance of an accidental discharge. Craig Boddington, an accomplished hunter and knowledgeable writer remarks: “After using it in the field, I am increasingly impressed with your cocking device versus a traditional safety. Great rifle, and of course it performed wonderfully.”

Great seller who values accurate rifles! This is a great package, particularly with that much brass! That's $3600 just in new brass.
 
Very Nice
 
I wish that beautiful rifle was headed to me! WOW, what a complete set-up! If only I'd been born rich, instead so mediocre looking! Wonderful deal!

No sir, In America we do not need permission to buy another rifle... :)
Sometimes we do however wish that we had limits!
That stated, I have another pre-64 M70 in 416 Rem being built!

First of all that is a gorgeous double. How many doubles do you have, and in what calibers? Can you identify everything in this lineup for us?

Stunning!
 
Very nice and in the caliber I would love to own not wishing you any trouble with the sale but just paid off my rigby 416 from MNR custom . Will be about 2 weeks before the funds can be available to maybe take this beautiful double from you.
 
This is the best dressed Krieghoff I’ve seen. It shoots well. And your buying from your own personal support system. He has the load dialed in. ( potentially thousands in time and labor)

Low pressure high penetration DR caliber
 
Damn, that’s sweet and a great deal from a respected member.

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY

I'd like a bag of 100. I could actually pick it up since I'm in North Irving, but if you prefer, shipping it is fine.
