Kahles's New K624i MOA Rifle Scope
Fine adjustments to the parallax are able to be made with just fingertips. The adjustment has the perfect amount of tension to hold the setting, but is just light enough to be able to use fingertip pressure due to the updated knurling Kahles has introduced for 2015. Kahles now has the capability to produce an extremely ergonomic scope by locating the windage turret on the left side of the scope, as with their new K312i rifle scope which debuted in the United States at SHOT Show 2015.
Elevation and windage corrections are ¼ MOA or 0.1 mil clicks, which are stringently inspected to deliver precise zeroing and adjustment value. The elevation turret provides 2.5 revolutions for a total of 88 MOA or 25 Mils of internal adjustment and it utilizes a revolution indicator to display which turn the elevation is on.
Elevation on "zero" and parallax adjustment set to 600 meters.
Elevation on 2nd revolution as indicated by red anodized button on top of turret, 35 MOA in one turn.
Elevation on 3rd revolution as indicated by white band around button on top of turret.
The revolution indicator is a red anodized button that automatically pops up from the top of the turret when the turret goes around to the second turn, and higher for the third on the MOA version of this scope. This feature is a visual as well as tactile indication for the user to determine the revolution and thereby eliminate confusion. The numbering around the elevation turret is easy to see in low light conditions and is a direct read of the elevation setting after confirming the rotation with the indicator button. Math is not required to add up the total amount of travel based on a revolution hash mark beneath the turret. Kahles has made their turret extremely simple to read, without having to do a math problem, and has provided an easy to see and feel indication for the revolution.
Elevation dial reset is easily accomplished after a zero is established by loosening two set screws in the outer perimeter of the turret, turning the turret back to "zero," and retightening the set screws. The zero set mechanism is built into the turret and allows 1 MOA or 0.3 Mils below "zero" of adjustment. This provides sufficient travel below zero should the user have the need or desire. The Kahles dial reset is the easiest to accomplish in the rifle scope industry as the user has no need to remove the turret and risk dirt or debris contaminating the inner portion.
For the windage, a rotation stop is built in to the windage turret as well which limits travel at 18 MOA or 6.5 Mils in either direction. The windage stop feature is very handy to have as it eliminates the possibility of misperception of which rotation the windage is actually on. Gone are the days of rotation indication marks beneath the turrets.
Windage zeroed, ¼ MOA adjustments.
Windage at ½ turn around with rotation limiter stop built in.
Internally, the click mechanisms are manufactured from hardened steel, which is the preferred material to ensure consistent click feel, wear resistance, and longevity. This ensures product reliability and consistency. Utilizing hardened steel components in key areas instead of an inferior material, such as brass, that is softer and cheaper to machine, is only one aspect of their unrelenting dedication to excellence. In fact, no inferior material is present in any Kahles scope. Only the absolute highest quality materials are used throughout their products for the given component. Kahles's adjustments are favored for feel, amount of tension to make an input, precision of adjustments, reliability, repeatability, and return to zero. Kahles spares no expense to ensure the end user is purchasing a superior product, on every product!
