I compete in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS), and I have trusted the Kahles K624i on my rifle for the past two years now. The scope has
always tracked flawlessly, has the cleanest most tactile clicks of any scope on the market, and the glass is top of the line. In PRS matches,
scopes are also not treated kindly very often, and the Kahles has always held up to any abuse I throw at it.“

K16i (1-6x24)
“Just a note to let the Kahles team know that my recent hunt for brown bear in Kamchatka was a success. Although our equipment
was subjected to considerable abuse which included having my rifle stock break at the wrist, my Kahles K16i performed flawlessly and
without fail as I knew it would. We went a long way and didn’t want to leave anything to chance. With this in mind taking my Kahles
was an easy choice. Simply put, Kahles scopes are among the most reliable and highest performing scopes made.”
Alex Roy, Owner, EuroOptic Ltd
“The reason that I use choose to shoot a Kahles K16i in 3 Gun is its unwavering reliability, and game changing crystal clear edge to edge
127’ FOV. It has a built in throw lever and 180 turn puts me on 6x so that 500 yd plus targets are super crisp. I have ran my K16i in -
10 below and snow on the ground to well in the triple digits and its clarity has never wavered.”
Shiloah Mattoon, 3-Gun Competitor
“The Kahles 1x6 riflescope with the G4B reticle is exactly what I’ve been waiting for in a competition optic for years. It provides a true
1x option with a brilliant daylight visible red dot and the stadia is set up perfectly to enable us to dominate the long range stages we see
at major three gun championships across the USA.”
Rob Romero - Noveske Shooting Team
“I shoot a lot of matches with a scoped 7.62x51 rifle and every year without fail. I have the scope either break or the red dot gets kno-
cked out of alignment from the sheer number of rounds shot… that is until I switched to the Kahles 1x6 competition riflescope. After
more than 5,500 rounds last year alone, the Kahles held zero and the dot remained centered perfectly just like the day it left the factory.
This is the kind of confidence you cannot put a price on.”
Jansen Jones - Noveske Shooting Team
The KAHLES K16i delivers unmatched optical performance. With the largest field of view, eye box, clearest image edge to edge, true daytime illumination, and a variety of unique and innovative reticles, the K16i is in a class of its own. An integrated magnification throw lever allows for instant magnification changes even in the most adverse environmental conditions. The K16i, like all KAHLES riflescopes, provides mechanical durability, accuracy, and repeatability that are second to none. When failure is not an option and ultimate performance is a must, choose the KAHLES K16i, as this is the most advanced low power variable scope ever produced! Don’t take our word for it. See why many Pro-Series 3-Gun competitors choose the KAHLES K16i.

The K624i is the perfect example of innovation and quality derived from 118 years of experience building the world’s finest rifle scopes. Designed for applications where the purest optical clarity can mean the difference between a hit or miss; this optic sets new standards with incredible resolution, contrast, and 95% light transmission. Specifically engineered for long range precision and built without compromise, the K624i delivers the highest level of performance ever achieved.Ultra precision adjustments, constructed of hardened steel and machined to the most demanding tolerances, deliver a lifetime of wear resistance and 100% accuracy. The elevation adjustment has a second rotation indicator and the most refined zero stop and dial reset available. With 25 Mils of overall elevation adjustment in just two rotations and precise indexing, adjusting for extreme distances and back to zero is incredibly fast and accurate. Left or right handed shooters will find the unique and innovative parallax adjustment, located under the elevation turret, superior to all other designs. This means less time required to engage multiple targets as you won’t have to break your shooting position. These features combined with unmatched optical performance andadvanced reticle options are just a few of the reasons why the top shooters in the industry are switching to the K624i.
KAHLES K624i (6-24x56)
„I am a custom rifle builder, and when people are buying the best in a
long range precision rifle, they often want me to recommend them an
optic, and I recommend Kahles. I have a policy with my business that I
only sell products I believe in enough to use them myself. I compete in
the Precision Rifle Series (PRS), and I have trusted the Kahles K624i on my
rifle for the past two years now. The scope has always tracked flawlessly,
has the cleanest most tactile clicks of any scope on the market, and the
glass is top of the line. In PRS matches, scopes are also not treated kindly

KAHLES K1050 (10-50x56)
With 118 years of experience building the finest rifle scopes in the world, KAHLES has created the ultimate competi-tion scope for those demanding total optical and mechanical perfection. Our optical engineers have developed a truly usable 5x zoom ratio that delivers the highest resolution, contrast, and overall image quality in the industry. These days it seems manufacturers are trying to achieve the widest zoom ratio and highest magnification possible, but that isn’t everything.
True optical excellence and the ability to resolve through the worst mirage and adverse lighting conditions is what separates the best from the rest in top level competition. Whether right or left handed, or if you prefer a left loading port with right ejection, our unique top mounted parallax control combined with large diameter but low profile ad-justments, will optimize user interface in any situation.
Ultra-precise 1/8 MOA adjustments constructed of hardened steel, and machined to the tightest tolerances possible will deliver a lifetime of wear resistance and 100% accuracy. The K 10-50x56 has an incredible parallax adjustment range from 8 meters to infinity, making this model the perfect choice from Field Target air gun to 1000 yard competi-tion all in one scope. An optional extra large parallax wheel is available for Field Target use.
The K1050 has won the competition “women at
300m” in the “German Championship 2012“.

„Kahles KXi 3.5-10x50 is quite simply the finest 1“ tube hunting scope I have seen to date. Its unusual to have a 1“ scope combine a perfectly ca-librated illuminated reticle with excellent optics and a 50mm objective. It is even more unusual to have the whole thing weigh in at a smidge over 16 ounces and have a class leading field of view and low light performance. To top it all off, I tested it on three different rifles and through two pig hunts and once zeroed the scope stayed zeroed. I spent a long time with the KXi trying to find something to nitpick on and ended up largely empty handed.“ Ilya Koshkin, Owner, Optics Thoughts
