What happened to a simple cross with etch Mark's for hold overs Wind holds are just as important to me. Holding off into space sucks. The 3GR reticle in the K16 is very clean and isn’t distracting at all. This may be the best 3gun scope on the market currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieD Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I’ve had a couple razors, they are certainly very good scopes. The Kahles has better glass, a wider field of view, a nice mil reticle w/ mil wind holds, and is quite a bit lighter. The only downside to the Kahles that I’ve found so far is cost. I never thought I would spend that much on a scope, but after looking through one I wasn’t left with much choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's $1,999 at: Amazon, Adorama, B&H Photo, SportOptics, Midway, Brownells, StageZeroShooting, EuroOptic, Interstateguns, CSTactical, AbleAmmo call around. $1,999 is MAP. Street price is usually lower if you call a stocking dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After recently seeing the Trijicon Accupower 1-8x hands on, I think that would be my go to scope. Glass was every bit as good as the Kahles. I like the 3GR reticle more, but I was very impressed with that accupower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the input, I have the Trijicon 1 x 8 on rifle for a different purpose … although it's a great scope, it's a little heavy and the FOV is a little more narrow than I care for …… all said, it's a good quality scope.

Gunjack Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Just got the Kahles 1x6 3G in the mail, nice scope. Look forward to deploying it after this next match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initial observations: I like the reticle. It has 2 dots which almost illuminate with the same intensity (don't like), in addition, the reticle also illuminates … 2 dots and the lit-up reticle seems to take some of the intensity away (almost like a distraction) compared to a single dot or the open gun quickness, like the Razor or Swaro. The illumination dial is on and off, no separate settings w/off in between settings, not a deal breaker but I kinda miss that option. Elevation/windage knobs are simple. Overall, it's a nice scope although in my opinion, it's not a 3gun specific scope. Overall, good scope but in my opinion, a little over priced in comparison. Will have to field test it and see how it stands up to some abuse which some of the lighter scopes have been accused of not holding up as well.

Overall it's a great scope although in my opinion, the intensity of the dot doesn't compare to the Razor plus the two dot thing on the Kahle doesn't make sense for speed shooting. If I was to buy just one scope that cost under 2k for 3gun, it would be a Razor simply because the dot is more effective. I can say this because I've been shooting open and playing the dot game for several years. All that said, the Kahles is a very nice scope, but like other scope companies, they try to do to much in some areas and not enough in others, at least for the average 3 gunner.

avastcosmicarena Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Interesting. I guess the Swarovski Z6i/Z8i probably has the brightest dot of all options? Heard it's brighter than the Razor's dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter1998 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Great scope, lightweight, amazing FOV and clarity, reticle is crisp and very easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
