I have done a Search for Kriegoff Double's and found some good info. But need a little more.

A friend of a friend, is in his mid 70's and wants to sell his Kriegoff in .500 Nitro (the gun is probably 7 years old and has shot about a box of ammo.) Because he knows of me and knows it will be shot, he would be interested in selling it to me for $6,800, in the Kriegoff Americase, one box of a-Square brass and 1 box of Mild loads in new A-Square brass.

The gun is the classic Big 5, Standard LOP, 23" Barrel, no recoil reducer in stock, One leaf rear sight. I don't know what engraving is on it yet, or whether it has side plates or not.

That being said is $6,800 a good price, even if it was the standard gun?

Note: I already own a Merkel in .470 Nitro but have been dying to get my hands on a .500 NE. These guns do fit me, should I pull the trigger on it? Is this the steal of the century or a good price? I am getting pics tommorow!

Is there anything else I should ask about the gun??

I'd jump all over it and if you don't, please give your friend my contact info.

That price is a steal. I would say that is $3000 to $4000 less than what you would pay for a "good" deal on a new one. Assuming that it is in good shape, no rust, etc., if you are looking for a .500 you will not likely find a better deal. For what it is worth, my Krieghoff .500 is extremely accurate.

Good god, take it. TAKE IT NOW!

Still Waiting on Pictures.

The Wait is Seriously Killing me!!!!

You can't beat that price, even with a really big stick!! BUY IT!!

I would definitely be a buyer at that price.

Seems almost too good to be true. Have it looked at by a smith that really knows doubles.

REMEMBER TOO ..... IN THE DEAL YOU GET KRIEGHOFFS
COMBI - COCKER INSTEAD OF A SAFETY.

every k-gun I've shot has been very accurate. I have seen them sell from 5500 to 10K here lately. The 500 is alot of gun, but the K-guns stock is strighter than some and I think handles recoil better than some.

Good luck,

Ed

Since I have one, I don't consider this a problem. In fact I consider it a huge plus. It is the safest double you can get.

As 505ED said, they are very accurate, as can be confirmed by several dead buff

Go for it
