Krieghoff K-80 Pro Sporter
Heinrich Krieghoff Waffenfabrik · Shotgun · In Production
Also known as: K-80 Prosporter, K80 Pro Sporter
Overview
The Krieghoff K-80 Pro Sporter is a German 12-gauge over/under sporting clays shotgun, a configuration of the K-80 competition line built around Krieghoff's removable, serviceable trigger group. Its defining feature is a floating rib mounted higher above the barrels than a conventional sporting or skeet rib, with an adjustment wheel that lets the shooter select 50/50, 60/40, or 70/30 point-of-impact settings to suit different clay disciplines. It ships with 30 in or 32 in barrels, 3 in chrome-plated chambers, and a set of extended titanium screw-in chokes.

Background
The Pro Sporter's rib sits noticeably higher than a normal sporting rib, letting the shooter dial the point of impact between flat-shooting 50/50 and high 70/30 with a small wheel, so a single gun can be tuned for low-house skeet targets in the morning and rising sporting-clays birds in the afternoon.
