The KAHLES 1-8x24 K18i Rifle Scope delivers the performance required to bring home the gold. Its low-power optical system and large field of view, coupled with fully multicoated lens surfaces, is crafted to deliver outstanding clarity, excellent edge sharpness, and high contrast with maximized light transmission. An 8x zoom mechanism provides near reflex sight performance on 1x with the ability to dial up the magnification and take longer shots with confidence and precision.
Complementing the optical system is a reticle specially developed for IPSC shooting competition, with a clean, simple design for holding over or under. Shot corrections are made at 0.1 MRAD with 24 MILs of adjustment range on both the windage and elevation turrets. Capped with a low profile, the windage turret cap holds a spare battery to keep your reticle illuminated on those long days out of doors.
Designed to withstand repeated recoil and harsh conditions, the K18i is built with a robust 30mm one-piece maintube made of lightweight and durable aluminum treated with a scratch-resistant anodized finish. The housing is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to make it waterproof and resistant to internal fogging in extreme weather conditions and temperatures. To make magnification transitions easier when wearing gloves or in cold and wet conditions, KAHLES includes two removable throw levers—one short and one long—so you can choose the right one for your needs and comfort.
