About the Krieghoff Classic

The Krieghoff Classic is a German side-by-side double rifle built on a reinforced boxlock action with twin internal hammers and a tang-mounted Kickspanner manual cocking device, allowing the rifle to be carried fully loaded with the hammers safely uncocked. Chambered in classic European and American sporting cartridges such as the .30-06 Springfield, it is aimed at driven-game and dangerous-game hunters and supports interchangeable barrel sets that turn it into a double rifle, rifle/shotgun combination, or shotgun.

Krieghoff promotes the Classic as the first and only modern double rifle to combine twin hammers with a Combi-Cocking Device, reviving the safety logic of classic British and German double rifles in a contemporary, interchangeable-barrel platform.
