2. On the last hunt I had wondered how the guide’s rifle could have gotten so battered. But it took only one day
in the saddle to show me what scabbards and stalks across rockslides could do to gear. And to hunters. Now
I was on horseback once more, headed for the sheer impossibility of mountain goat country. This time I had
come prepared, though. This time I had brought the best for the worst.

3. I have a simple taste: The best will do.
Extreme conditions require uncompromised solutions. Uncompromised in its complex optical construction,
optimizing both image qualities and viewing comfort. Topped by state-of-art mechanics, unique in design and
unmatched in accuracy at any distance.
Explore your new limits. Welcome to the world of exclusive Austrian optics.

The revolutionary KAHLES
ballistic drop compensation
patent from 1904 underlines
the competence of the
world’s oldest and most
innovative riflescope
manufacturer.
Innovative multizero™ micromechanics introduce extreme
long range accuracy to the world of fine hunting optics.
Fine non-magnifying crosshairs and the revolutionary
concept of multiple zero settings — the CL series is
clearly the reference class in riflescope technology.

5. HELIA CL — A revolutionary concept in one inch scope technology.
Based on typical KAHLES qualities of compact and lightweight construction with fine non-magnifying reticles
in the second image focal plane. Also typically KAHLES — the unbeaten wide field-of-view with excellent
edge-to-edge clarity. All that combined with a mechanical construction so precise that it requires side parallax
adjustment as a standard feature.
INGENIOUSELY PRECISE. AT ANY DISTANCE.
{
HELIA CL
Topped by the unique multizero™ micromechanics as an option: An elevation mechanism that once sighted
in at up to five different distances allows taking even the longest hunting shots right through the center of the
crosshair. With a repeating accuracy and an ease in use that is simply setting new standards in modern hunting
riflescopes.

6. The true masterpiece from Austria, radically different in conception, uncompromised in realization.
From KAHLES, the world’s oldest hunting optics manufacturer.

Side parallax for maximum precision
as a standard feature.
multizero™ — Any caliber. Any distance. Dead on.
KAHLES’ innovative multizero™ micromechanics allows the shooter to
zero the riflescope in at up to five different shooting distances. If longer
shooting distances are not required, multizero™ micromechanics may
also be used to zero in different bullet types/loads at one particular
shooting distance.
Precise standard elevation turret or KAHLES
multizero™ micromechanics as an option.
Non-magnifying glass-etched
reticle for enhanced durability.
Oversized ocular for the widest
field-of-view and quick target
acquisition crafted with state-of-the-
art Austrian optics.
Mode A
Standard turret mode.
Mode B
Micro-clutch dis-connects
turret from
spindle. Mode B defines
a fully adjustable
elevation window of
one full revolution from
base zero setting. Mode
B is used only one time
during the multi
yardage sighting in
process — to set the
base sight setting.
Mode C
Mode C allows four
additional sight settings
for further shooting dis-tances
using four
independently adjust-able
index rings —
always aiming right
through the center of the
crosshair. Fine clicks
between the fully adjust-able
index marks allow
total flexibility and
tightest groups under
field conditions.
multiKey
The KAHLES multiKey
securely locks the
base zero setting in
multizero™ mode and
prevents unintentional
changes. No key is
required for field
operation of the scope
or adjusting the
multizero™ index
marks.
Reticle placement
indicator
The unique KAHLES
Reticle placement
indicator warns the
user if the scope/rifle
combination is not
properly mounted or
properly aligned.
