Cannot Find Certain Higher End Trap Guns

Looking to upgrade my Browning BT-99 Trap to a higher end gun . Maybe tariffs have something to do
with the problem but living in Western Pa I am only about one hour from Dawson's in Ohio and an hour and a half from Joel Etchens guns . Had my eye on a Krieighoff KX-6 Special and neither place has had one for a long time . Also considered a BT-99 Plus or a BT-99 Max very difficult to find and Etchen's informed me they have had the BT-99 Pluses on order for several years .
Etchen's sells a signature Beretta model 687 Silver Pigeon III Deluxe Trap Unsingle
for $4700.00 , apparently they have a contract and the tariffs does not affect this import ?
Thanks

 

Gone a little further west and you would have ended up a Jaquas that advertises they have new KX-6 Special in stock.

 

Joel has a used kx6 special listed on his website now...

 

Dawson has a used Kx6 also

 

Yes I saw that one , thanks I guess the Kreighoff sticker on the barrel would come off and I think his price is $6800.00
and when I did see new they were selling for around $7300-$7500 he needs to discount a little more for me to bite .

 

Thanks I will check out .

 

I have been wanting to drive out to Jaquas , however 4.5-5.0 hour dive for me , 10 hours round trip . Maybe after the first of the year Krieghoff will start to ship new
although maybe not , I hear 10-20% tariffs. ?

 

Buy a Kolar and forget about tariff's!

 

Some trapshooters are known to drive that far to save a couple of bucks on a bag of shot.

 

Contact Michael Gooch of the Indiana Fun Club. He’s sold a lot of Krieghoff KX-6 Specials. PM me if you need his phone number. Good luck.

sorta like wives who drive 35 miles to use a 20 cent coupon grocery shopping.................

 

You are going by the old price. Check out the new list price $8795

 

You're not doing anything wrong. The market for these hand-fitted, niche competition guns is broken right now. It's a seller's market, and patience (or a willingness to hunt the used market) is your new best friend. The fact that you're an hour from those meccas is still a huge advantage, when something does come in, you can be there to handle it in person. Good luck in the hunt, it's a quest worthy of a great gun.
