Also known as: K-80 All Clay Sports, K80 ACS

Overview

The Krieghoff K-80 ACS is a German 12-gauge over/under competition shotgun configured as an 'All Clay Sports' combination set. Built on the K-80 receiver with a removable, serviceable trigger group and 3-inch chambers, it pairs a 30- or 32-inch over/under barrel with a 34-inch unsingle barrel, all wearing a 10mm tapered adjustable rib, so a single gun can shoot singles trap, doubles trap, sporting clays and skeet. Its defining feature is the ACS Parallel adjustable-comb stock with palm swell, offered in right- or left-handed form to place the shooter's eye consistently over the rib.

Notes

ACS stands for 'All Clay Sports.' Barrel options: 30 in or 32 in over/under, plus a 34 in unsingle top-single barrel, all with a 10 mm tapered adjustable rib. Weight and overall length are not published as single figures because the gun is a multi-barrel combo set. Receiver is nickel-plated steel with blued hinge screws and small components.

Background

The 'ACS' badge stands for All Clay Sports: rather than owning a dedicated trap, skeet and sporting gun, a competitor buys one K-80 receiver and swaps between an over/under and a 34-inch unsingle barrel, letting the same familiar stock and trigger cover every clay discipline.
