Gentlemen.
I just wanted to start a thread to help answer any questions you might have on Kahles scopes. I know there isnt a ton of info out there on them due to being relatively new to the US market. Im going to just bullet off a few things that may be good information if you dont know much about their products.
If you have any questions about features or are interested in buying one, feel free to call me or better yet email me anytime. I normally respond to emails within a few minutes. I'll answer them to the best of my knowledge, and if I dont know the answer I will find out for you.
EMAIL: [email protected]
PHONE: 419. FIVE ZERO NINE . 0374 you can also text me if you want.
- Check out WWW.KAHLESUSA.COM if you haven't in awhile. I know their website was severely lacking for awhile, but they are constantly updating it, and I think it has come a long way since last year.
- Check out WWW.KAHLES.AREA419.COM also for info I have on their tactical lineup, I am trying to update all the pages with some extra info/images to help out (bear with me, I do my own site work...).
- I am running a promotion right now to receive a free set of American Rifle Company M10 scope rings with your K312 or K624 purchase. These are the best rings you can possibly pair with your scope. They have a clamping pressure far higher than any other ring on the market, yet it is evenly distributed around the tube instead of having huge pressure points at the ring halves like traditional rings which can damage a tube if not properly installed. Ive mounted a scope in these rings before and only snugged the clamp screw using the small end of the wrench for leverage, maybe 5 in-lb, took it out and shot it and it kept zero perfectly. The biggest bonus too, NO RING MARKS WHATSOEVER! Check them out at WWW.AMERICANRIFLE.COM
- Keep an eye out for new products coming out later this year, I don't even know what all they are yet, but I'm told there is some exciting stuff coming down the pipeline. I do know there should be some new reticles available for at least the 6-24 soon, with an all MOA scope being one of them.
- Kahles scopes have been tested up and down now by independents, their turret tracking has been shown to be perfect. Reticle subtension has also been proven to be perfect in all magnification ranges. The scope layout has also become the most popular for tactical match shooters, having the parallax under the elevation turret just plain makes sense. You adjust your elevation, move down a half inch and adjust your parallax to the range you are shooting.
- On the parallax adjustment. This is another feature that has been tested and proven to be extremely accurate. By that, I mean, you can pretty much guarantee that if you know your range and set the parallax to that number, that you will be parallax free. No guessing between 500 and infinity in 20 degrees of rotation like other scopes.
- If you have not felt the turrets on a Kahles you really should. They are about the perfect combination of stiffness along with crisp and tactile clicks. These turrets wont accidentally rotate when carrying. The clicks are close together, but that is impossible to avoid with having the extreme convenience of 13 mils per revolution. Even being that close together though, you can 100% feel every single click with ultimate precision.
- If you ever wondered what the little red dot is on the top of a Kahles elevation turret, it is your second revolution indicator. No lines under the turret to try and figure out where you are at. As soon as you hit your second rev, the red dot pops up and is a tactile and visual indicator that you are at 14 and up mils.
- No need to buy an expensive "cat tail" for the magnification ring. The Kahles has a perfect size one built right in for quick and precise magnification changes.
- Few feature changes that went under the radar on the K624i models:
1. Parallax adjustment wheel no longer has detents and also now requires less torque to turn. The latter came after feedback that the adjustment was too stiff. The former, well, basically no one liked the detents.
2. Diopter adjustment now requires significantly more torque to turn. This also came after hearing feedback from you guys.
3. AMR reticle scopes no longer have the DTA logo on the right side of the eyepiece.
Talking about the AMR, if you are a fan of Horus style reticles with windage holds, this is the best out there. Its not near as cluttered as a Horus, so it doesnt obstruct your field of view, however when you need to use it, it is very convenient. Even if you dont use it for holding very often, it is great to have the scale down there for spotting misses. You dont have to guess where your miss is, just put the crosshairs back on the target and measure with the tree. The .2 hash marks are excellent for holding more precise wind holds when you dial your elevation. And probably my favorite part of the reticle is the actual crosshair, the super fine floating dot is great for when you want to shoot precise groups, yet the complete crosshair area is noticeable enough for shooting steel or other quicker pace engagements.
Ive posted a few pictures in the post below to really show what this reticle looks like. The PDF you see on the site just does not do it justice, it makes it look far more cluttered than it really is.
Im sure there is more, I will update this thread with more information as I think of it, and when I hear about upcoming products. And again, feel free to contact me with any questions.
