Very nice. Are you receiving it? Or are you trading it off? The Voere action is very good and Kleinguenther rifles are highly valued.

A true gem. In 1982 the K15 was my dream gun. Alas for a 17 year old living in NYC no less this was a "dream".

I love this gun!

fotis at 17 years in 82, now in 2012, youre giving your age, hihi.
For sure its a very nice gun, very well made with attention to detail.
Lets see if it can be mine, will need to trade some stuff.
Maybe my .375RUM :roll:

Not sure what model, but I found a Kleingunther in 308Norma while browsing the online listings from one of my favorite gunshops. If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll tell you where.

Throw up a link buddy. I love that Norma... It was the first 300 magnum loaded cartridge I was ever given. I kinda has a little thing got them...

Very nice rifle CZ! Hope you get it...

KDF Arms in Sequin Texas has carried on in the tradition of Kleingunther rifles but now uses the Blazer from Germany as the basis for their custom works.

The stock is plain, without much character, and I'm not sure I'd shell out the $1k they're asking for that gun, even though I love the 308Norma and have wanted one for years. I can say that I've done business with Mark's for almost 20yrs, and they're great folks, for sure. I've bought guns "sight unseen" from them, and just drove down to Birmingham to pick them up. I have no doubt they'd make a fair deal on this rifle and I know they'll ship it for actual shipping costs. I'd have no problems calling them and taking their word for it with regard to condition, etc., if anyone's interested in the rifle and wondering about the shop.

I've got to finish working with a .308 Norma that is cluttering my safe. The last one produced excellent accuracy with 180 grain ABs. The owner of this one requested that I work up a load with 210 grain Berger VLDs. Interesting cartridge that is far better than popularity would dictate.

Man, the wood might not be beautiful, but it is nicely straight grained and the blueing looks excellent. Very nice rifle. I would like it a little more with a nice oil finish, but it looks like a nice rifle. That 308 Norma is a great one. Love the long neck on them.

In 1965, I was a discharged Army Veteran after 3 years service, going to college and working at Boeing on the 737 airframe and wing design.

That Kleingunther rifle has what appears to be a piece of Bastogne walnut for a stock. Not really high grade exhibition Bastogne but certainly good wood for a semi factory production rifle.

What a great rifle, I have a Vorre Titan II in 308 Win that is the most accurate rifle I own, I love it and would recomend one to anybody lucky enough to get one, you dont see the on the used gun rack often, no matter what you call'em.

Has one of the heftyest bolts there ever was and is like a Rollex watch, all hand made with exelence! If you havent already got it, get it!

The original ones were made by Voere in Germany. A long time ago Kleingunther and Voere were involved with Roy Weatherby. Scope mounts can be a problem, but they are very nice, well made rifles with very accurate barrels. We have a 7.5 x 55 Swiss Kleingunther from Germany. Yours may have been assembled in Texas depending on the date. I personally dont like the ported barrels, but that is just me
Your 375 is a great caliber and can be used all over the world. We have to reload ( from 308 brass ) and it isnt all that great of a hunting caliber, so it is a safe queen and possibly an investment.

Nice pictures, nice rifle
