Chuck: They are "horses for courses". I like my Gold Super Scroll Blued a bunch. I have 2 12 ga. barrels for it.

If I could own only a single shotgun a K-80 with 28” skeet barrels and 32” trap/sporting barrels along with Kolar tubes for the skeet barrels would make me quite happy ! Hell as far as that goes a nice old K-32 action with the same two barrels would be fine as well . Oh yeah give me a medium Monte Carlo non adjustable stock with plenty figure and I’ll be fine .

I had a rather Intresting K-80 in my hands today that belongs to a long time friend . It’s I think a Gold Plantation 32” but the intresting thing is a little added extra my friend had done . He sent a trigger guard to Angelo Bea and had him put a gold inlay of a Turkey on it along with some gold inlaid lines . The turkey is a fair facsimile of the NWTF turkey and yes that’s my friends preferred quarry spring and fall .

Oh, gosh, a Krieghoff thread! My K-32 is 54 years old and still going strong. I have a couple of sets of 32", Vandalia and flat rib, a 30" flat rib, a rare 29" pigeon set, a .410 set, and my 28" K-80 barrels, Kolar tubed for skeet. There is not a screw in choke barrel in the bunch. I paid $775.00 for the gun about 35 years ago and picked up extra barrels when I could find them. Now the gun has a custom made PFS crossover stock without recoil reducer made by a Florida craftsman. Sure, I would like to have a three barrel K-20, but I don't spend enough time with competition shooting to make that an option. It has been my (non side by side) competition gun of choice for more than 30 years. Best $775.00 I've ever spent on a shotgun. I have never shot pigeons with anything but a side by side, but I may change that this year.

Craig: My wood is Crown Grade sporting style. My barrels are 32" flat rib IM/F. My 30" flat rib are rather unique. The are the Euro shootable carrier barrels choked .014 and .016 and light as hell and were the kind they produced for Olympic skeet a number of years ago. On medium close sporting (40 yards and under) courses they are kick ass. I have a full set of Briley tubes 20, 28. 410 for them. The 32's are for FITASC and what little trap I shoot.

Bill, I'll give you $750 for just the PFS stock! I'd love to try it sometime.

Chuck, my PFS is a crossover and $750 wouldn't quite cover my love for it. You're welcome to shoot it any time we meet. How about at the Central Penn shoot.
