As each skeet shooter deals with the fundamental challenge that is unique to the game, namely how to achieve similar gun weight, feel, sight picture, and balance in all gauges in order to shoot consistently round after round and event after event, Krieghoff offers a variety of options to suit the particular needs.
The K-80 skeet guns are distinguished primarily by their barrel configuration -the choice of ribs, chokes, and weight. To that end K-80 skeet guns come as over-and-unders or two barrel sets.
Typical skeet configurations are 28" or 30" barrel length, fixed chokes or choke tubes, and a choice of 8mm rib or 12-8mm tapered flat rib.
