Just got a 5-25. My main complaint is the SKMR4 reticle isn't great. If you dial elevation I think it's great but I don't know why they didn't update it to just have 0.2 MIL throughout. Can we get a petition going to just have MDS design a new reticle and remove the SKMR?
I was on the fence when I picked the AMR for the same reason. I was worried it would look cluttered to me like the H59 feels. Im not sure if that was a concern of yours or not, but I worried about it just being to much going on in the sight picture. However, it works for me and is a lot more open than it looked online in my opinion. I know everyone’s different but I feel like the NF mil xt and S&B GR2ID reticles are less cluttered than the H59, but the dot in the middle of each grid throws me off on all of those scopes. I haven’t been behind the GR2ID, but I have with the NF mil xt and it just reminds me of a little less cluttered H59.It's just alright. Overall I'm still very happy with my Kahles but the reticle is not as great as others on the market. If the AMR reticle wasn't a straight up Cartesian Grid, I might have just gone with it, at least it uses the same subtensions throughout.
Hi Dave,I am slowly being swayed towards Kahles despite a lot of people saying Go Go Vortex Razor HD you can't beat it for the price/warranty.
The K624i 6-24x56 is the only option within my budget, would it be worth getting over the Razor HD.
Optics would be used for Prone work and eventually PRS once more clubs over here adopt the discipline.
My Rifle almost at completion.
I was actually going to build a an exact copy of Phil's Kelbly Rifle until the stock option fell through.
Kelbly Atlas Tactical (6.5 creedmoor).
Brux Barrel
Bix&Andy 2 Stage Trigger
MPA Ba Comp Chassis
Any input greatly appreciated.
Hello thereHi Dave,
I own both the Gen 1 Razor 5-20 and the K624. I am an average shooter, retired and shooting purely for fun at steel out to a bit over 1K. My rifles are in 6.5CM both gas and bolt. I owned the Razor b/4 the Kahles and do not intend to sell or trade up either scope. There is not 2,000 difference in glass quality (the K was about 2K more than the Vortex). IMO when a person is buying scopes like the Razor and Kahles and scopes in and above the price range, the quality of glass is not commensurate with the growing price tag.
What differences there are and therefore in value / worth , are, their features. Both scopes have similar Xmas tree reticles. EBR2/SKMR3. I do prefer horsepower when it comes to variable power scopes so favor my 624 at max 24x verses the Razor at 20x. I do like the left side windage so ordered that version of the 624. I do like the parallex adjustment's location on the top turret on the Kahles. I feel the Kahles is more robust, but, have used both scopes for four years now and both have held zero and their turrets are 'repeatible'. Zero issues with either scope in any way.
So, if I had to pick one scope to keep it would be the Kahles. Not so much for glass quality but for its other features that I like and mentioned. Worth paying more for? IMO, yes. Both do the job I need done for what I am doing. lg

Only crickets from Kahles so farBringing this up again. Anyone in the know, know if Kahles plans to update and offer a K318i DLR and improve the FOV?
