    Anyone have the new Krieghoff KX6 Special?

    I saw one at a local club. It had real wood. Is trapshooting doing that well that Krieghoff can invest in this gun line?

    The KX-6 has been out for a while, are3 you sure about the Wood? Supposed to be a Photographic Applied to a cheaper wood to look like nice wood.that is according to Kreighoff, unless someone has put CUSTOM WOOD on it
    .
    Same was done on the New Fabarms RS-12, Blued Model.

    Hey everyone, here is what my stock looks like up close. I've seen four different KX-6 Specials and they all have different wood. IMG_4645.JPG IMG_4642.JPG

    Shot one at the Grand and loved every shot. Soft on the recoil and points great. Great fun! Kreighoff nailed this gun

    My curiosity has peaked.

    Can someone tell me why the specs state a 3" chamber ? Is this sort of a way of having an extended forcing cone ?

    I guess I am just curious, as I haven't seen a true Trap Gun with other than a 2 3/4" chamber before, except for some antique's that had 2 5/8" chambers.

    There may be others out there, I just have never heard of them.

    Thanks for any input.

    I bought one at the end of last summer.. I absolutely love it. I made very little adjustments right out of the box and I shot a pair of 96's with it.

    They are good guns I would personally chose a K-80 unsingle for better (less) recoil and flexibility. If you only shoot singles they are very good guns but a little harder to sell than the K-80.

    The Beretta 682 Gold E xTrap has 3" chambers.

    The KX-6 has been out several years, popularity is slow to come due to price increases
