New Kahles Rifle Scopes 2020: K18i Riflescope Series

The new Kahles K18i riflescope series (1-8×24 3GR Reticle, 1-8×24 IPSC Reticle) is the true successor of Kahles K16i Riflescopes (illuminated SM1 Reticle, illuminated S1 Reticle, and illuminated 3GR Reticle). 

The best aspect of the new K18i scope series is that it has been designed and developed in collaboration with the leading pro-shooters in both North America and Europe. This new riflescope series is perfected for rapid and intuitive target acquisition in competition sports shooting disciplines.

Kahles K18i Rifle Scopes: What’s so Special?

• To meet the needs of different types of competition sports shooting, the Kahles K18i 1-8x24i Riflescopes are made available in two newly developed reticles:

The Kahles K18i riflescopes have been designed by keeping the sports competitions in mind. That’s why the Kahles engineers have made it sure that the reticles (along with high-end glass quality) are as much distortion-free as possible.

The reticles are prepared with the principle that believes in “less is more”. That’s why both the reticles come with precisely coordinated points as well as lines of aim, making the reticles uncluttered and non-complex. This ensures that the shooters get a target image that is as free of disturbances as possible.

• The day/night illumination in the Second Focal Plane (SFP) is extra bright. The MAX LIGHT function provides extreme backlight situations.

• K18i riflescope series comes with 8x zoom (1x to 8x in K8i 1-8×24 Riflescopes) with true 1x magnification.

• The competition shooters will find the K18i scope series extremely handy as it comes with ultra-wide field-of-view (42.5-5.3 m/100 m).

• Kahles K18i Riflescopes come with integrated throw-levers in two alternative sizes having infinitely adjustable positions.

• The lenses have OILPHOBIC coating.
