New Krieghoff Owner!!!
      09/05/07 01:56 AM

Hi Guys,

I picked up my new Krieghoff Classic 9.3x74r yesterday. I was very pleased with the overall fit and finish of the gun. Mine is used but looks like it's brand new in the box. It does not have a scratch or dent on it anywhere and does not look as if it's ever been fired. I'm sure it has but it certainly does not have any handling marks on it. I was very surprised at how small it is. It looks like a small 410 side by side. For some reason, I was thinking it would be a bigger gun. It only weighs 7 1/2 to 8 pounds, which makes me wonder how much is this thing going to kick? I haven't shot a real bruiser in 20 years. I used to live and hunt in Alaska and used .375 and 458's. I move to the lower 48 years ago, sold off the big guns and hunt with a 30-30 and a 45-70 (living in the east). Now I've got this nice double, I'm just wondering if I've bitten off more than I'm used to chewing. I'm sure no matter how much it kicks, I'll get over it and keep the gun. I really like how it feels. I just hope it shoots and hits as good as it looks.

I owe my purchase of this gun to many of the people who have posted info on this site. The info I read over the past couple months helped me tremendously. I want to thank all of you who contributed and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you all using my new gun.

If anyone has any words of wisdom to add regarding my "fear" of recoil, I'd certainly appreciate it.

Thanks for your time.

Take Care!

JT
