My Krieghoff Drillings
Hallo and a happy new year to all of you.

These are the two Krieghoff Drillings I own.

Bottom is one of the first 50 the company built after restarting production in 1953. Its´ a Blitz system with three locks. Caliber is 8x57IR and 16, in the right shotbarrel is a Krieghoff 44 insertbarrel in 22WMR.

Top is a Krieghoff Optima from 2003. Caliber is 8x57IRS and 12. In the left shotbarrel is a long insertbarrel in 5,6x50R.

Between those two are 50 years of drilling development by Krieghoff.

I'd be paranoid about taking them out in the weather.
