KRIEGHOFF, United Kingdom & Ireland

The CLASSIC Standard shares many of the same features the CLASSIC "Big Five" offers. Among them is the action which is identical between the Standard and the "Big Five" rifle. This makes it possible to add a "big five" caliber barrel later to a standard caliber rifle, although in such case, the gun has to be re-proofed.
