Kahles K15i (1-5x24) / K16i (1-6x24)
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 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
Tom Carpenter has won numerous State, Area, Regional, and National championships in USPSA, IDPA, NFA, and 3-Gun action shooting
events and continues to be a top contender in venues throughout the country. “The Kahles K16i with its superior field of view, daylight
illumination, effective holdovers, and internationally renowned ruggedness, is the standard by which all serious 3-Gun optics now must
be judged.“ Keep up the great work!
Tom Carpenter
“In a sport where your targets are 10 feet to 400+ yards in distance my Kahles K16i with SM1 reticle is unrivaled! The SM1 reticle offers
a super daylight bright horseshoe for up close crazy fast target transition times then with a quick turn of the built in cattail, still gives you
crisp mil hash marks for precise holdovers at distance. The K16i tracks perfectly, easily allowing the shooter to obtain a one shot sight in.
The edge to edge clarity, leading 127‘ FOV, ruggedness and dependability of my K16i gives me the confidence to make any shot.”

8. Kahles K312II (3-12x50)
The KAHLES K312II is one of the most versatile and popular models in the Kahles line of premium rifle scopes. Used by
Law enforcement and Military worldwide, the K312II is truly a proven performer. Utilizing the latest advancements in
optical design combined with years of experience perfecting this classic magnification range yields a level of performance
one must see to believe.
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 24 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. The Parallax adjustment has
tactile detents per 100 meters allowing fast and accurate adjustment even in low light.
With a selection of proven reticle patterns, exceptional optical performance, and practical magnification range we are
confident you will see why the K312II continues to be the top choice of expert marksmen worldwide.
“KAHLES is world renowned for excellent clarity and crisp images - based on my time behind the K312II it more than lives up
to that standard“
MSG Larry Vickers
(Ret) US Army 1st SFOD-DELTA combat veteran
“Using a KAHLES K312 now for more than a year, the superior image quality, ease of use and reliability has made me a believer. A
simple yet robust scope that has now withstood, extreme cold and heat, my K312 has never let me down and I will continue to rely
on my KAHLES where ever my mission takes me.“
Erik Ussof
“I‘ve been using KAHLES scopes since 2001. The very first time I held one, I thought this is first class all the way. The new K line fea-tures
tactical turrets that are marked with easy to read numbers that even an old guy like myself can see from behind the stock. The
glass clarity is so sharp and full, the sight picture actually appears like it is two inches from your eye!“

10. Kahles K624i (6-24x56)
The K624i is the perfect example of innovation and quality derived from 116 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 distan-ces
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 re-quired
to engage multiple targets as you won’t have to
break your shooting position. These features combined
with unmatched optical performance and advanced re-ticle
options are just a few of the reasons why the top
shooters in the industry are switching to the K624i.
“I have been using the Kahles K624i since its debut in 2012.
As the owner of Snipers Hide.com, I have at my disposal near-ly
every premium Tactical scope made. Time and time again,
I find myself reaching for the Kahles when the shots matter
the most. “Comparable glass quality to optics that cost much
more, I find the Kahles optics a true force to be contended

12. Kahles K1050 (10-50x56)
With 116 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 manufactures 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“.
