I've been shooting skeet for a little over a year with a perfectly fine Beretta 682, but once I made the mistake of shooting my buddy's K-80, the search began!
I managed to score a great deal (relative to Krieghoff prices) on an older 28" K-80 with a carrier barrel, ported 12 gauge barrel, and Kolar tubes that looks as if it has rarely left the case in 35+ years.
Has it magically improved my scores? Not yet... I shot a 21 and 23, but that is to be expected with a new gun (at least, that is what I'm sticking to).
There is something about that solid, substantial feeling: like the "thud" of shutting an old car door when you close the action and the crisp trigger with the short reset. Did I need it? Will it magically put me in AAA? Nope. But, in my opinion, it was completely worth it.
