H. Krieghoff of Ulm, Germany, was founded as Sempert & Krieghoff in 1886 and began supplying the American market in the 1950s when a group of American and German shotgunning enthusiasts acquired the rights to the discontinued Remington Model 32, which has now evolved into the K-80. The K-80 is the finest in precision German manufacture and design backed by a century of gunmaking experience and a distinguished American heritage. Today it stands alone as the top competition shotgun in America.
