Our Assessment: The Kreighoff 32 needs no introduction…. It is the Rolex or Rolls-Royce of the shooting world. It is the gun that just about every shooter wants to add to the safe or arsenal for the range. The gun can literally take thousands of rounds. Serious shooters trust these guns to take the abuse of serious competition. The buttpad is hard, but an easily replaced part. This shotgun still retains a lot of the original finish. If I was a bidder on this gun the flaws are easily overlooked and an aftermarket buttpad easy to source and install.
