New take on Pump action rifles, Kreighoff Semprio

[diopter]

More complicated to operate than a Chinese box puzzle but sure looks neat.Wonder how it shoots?

 

[Jay]

Very neat!

But... @ the ~5K asking price, will we see many of them?

Cheers

It’s a Krieghoff, will shoot great, and if $5K is all they want that’s a damn bargain in the world of Krieghoffs and decent guns. The New Rigby Highland Stalker is only $9-10K too, hell of a deal really.

Very cool design

great way to say f%*k the kiss principle though

 

[Ardent]

Isn’t any more complicated than any other slide action, just the front half moves instead. Bolt’s fixed in place which is a simplification, forend doesn’t move and no link or moving parts there, it just trades some necessary complication for other necessary complication.

Sooooo how many positions does that switch have ? Lol. I don't doubt the quality but that 9 position safety button or switch doesn't appeal to me.

 

[FLHTCUI]

Looks like a fine piece of European Engineering for sure.
Was that 5k Canadian or American lol ?

Just two, and a push forward in either one means either fire or unlock, it’s actually a simpler arrangement than a Remington 7600. To the right is the slide release, a separate switch on a Remington, center is safe, and center forward is #### to fire which is only required first shot, and allows extremely safe uncocked carry with a chambered round. The Krieghoff probably has less moving parts than a Remington too, folks just go a bit cross eyed at changes from tradition.

Certainly looks cool but I wonder how it would hold up to dirt and grime with the parts so much more exposed as opposed to the ejection port on a conventional pump action gun?

Its only exposed part is the non-moving bolt with the action is closed / beating bush. It only opens when cycling, probably would fare better than a Marlin.

 

[Deuce-deuce]

It's very cool... my biggest concern would be muscle memory. I've been using pump shotguns my entire life... not sure if I could get used the the reverse pump. Under pressure with one shot off at the biggest elk/moose/deer/whatever, forget about it.

 

[Robert777]

I am sure some Australian would buy it. I would buy a semi auto instead and save myself thousands.

I could buy about 10 used 760s for $5K ........ Pass

 

[trebor2880]

I'm way too old fashioned for innovative ideas and designs like that. I be stickin' to my thirty thirty lever.

 

[Suther]

The whole "Safe to carry position" part is... Interesting?... Nah, its just odd to me. You like half-open the action and then lock it, or something like that? Honestly I feel like I'm missing something...

 

[Gatehouse]

tacticool Krieghoff

 

[mark222]

After seeing that (and the price tag), I like the Troy PAR even better than I did before.

 

[PEKS]

Going with what I know best, Bolt Actions, simple, accurate, reliable

 

[colonel3006]

I'll stick with the remington 7600. Simple,reliable at less than a 1/5 the pricetag. Just a little too different for me, but yeah looks like a cool rifle.
