VI. The Krieghoff Model Group 1 Maintenance Page 15 Your Krieghoff hunting gun is a mechanical product which will give many years of reliable service when properly used and maintained. We highly recommend periodic check-up and service (yearly when heavily used) by a skilled and competent gunsmith or by the Krieghoff factory. 1. Stock and Forearm The Krieghoff PLUS, ULTRA, CLASSIC, and HUBERTUS come standard with oil finished wood. We thoroughly treat and finish the wood with special gunstock oil.
VI. The Krieghoff Model Group 1 Maintenance Page 16 Important: Always clean barrels starting from the chamber to avoid damages to the muzzle. Store oiled barrels always with the muzzle pointing down to avoid that contaminated oil penetrates the internal mechanism of the gun causing malfunctions. Before loading the gun, always check that the barrels are free of any obstructions. The bores and chambers must be dry and free of oil.
VI. The Krieghoff Model Group 1 Maintenance Page 17 5. Screw-in Chokes. Choke-tubes by Briley. Nine different screw choke restrictions are available. Choke tubes are suitable for both lead and steel shot: Cylinder (Cyl), Skeet (Sk), 1/4 (IC), 1/4-1/2 (LM), 1/2 (M), 3/4 (IM), 3/4-1/1 (LF), 1/1 (F), Super-1/1 (XF) We strongly recommend for the use of steel-shot to stay within the range of Skeet (Sk) and 1/2 (M).
VII. The Krieghoff Model Group 1 Sighting-in and accuracy Page 18 Important: We highly recommend that any adjustments concerning re-regulating are being done by a skilled gunsmith or by the Krieghoff factory. This recommendation includes all Krieghoff hunting guns, regardless if they feature freefloating barrels or an adjustable muzzle wedge. 1.
VII. The Krieghoff Model Group 1 Sighting-in and accuracy Page 19 2.a. Multi-barrel hunting guns with soldered sideribs and two rifle barrels in different calibers ULTRA-20 Bergstutzen The Bergstutzen configuration is an over-and-under rifle with a small caliber bottom barrel and a large caliber top barrel – two rifles in different calibers in one gun. As such, the ULTRA-20 Bergstutzen is not suitable for shooting both rifle barrels in rapid succession.
VII. The Krieghoff Model Group 1 Sighting-in and accuracy Page 20 2.b. Multi-barrel hunting rifles with soldered sideribs and two rifle barrels in the same calibers ULTRA-20 Over-and-Under Rifle, CLASSIC Double Rifle These models are designed for firing both barrels in succession. The barrels are regulated that they shoot together when the second barrel is fired quickly after the first barrel, although, the barrel heat-up puts tension on the barrel assembly.
VII. The Krieghoff Model Group 1 Sighting-in and accuracy Page 21 When only one shot has been fired and the rifle can cool down, re-loading is of course recommendable to ensure under hunting conditions that the full gun is again available. We guarantee for the ULTRA over-and-under rifle and the CLASSIC side-by-side rifle a maximum group for both barrels of 8m* (about 3”) at 100m (110 yds.) for three shots from each barrel, shot cold each time, and provided premium ammunition is used.
