Kahles Scopes

Having the distinction of being one of the world’s oldest manufacturers of top class rifle scopes, Kahles’ strong foundation is forged not only in its rich history but also in geography. Only Kahles and a handful of other optical brands are still doing the manufacturing of their own specific rifle scope designs as a contrast towards the international trend regarding label manufacturing. The Kahles assembly is located in Vienna, Austria together with its mechanical and optical workshops, research and development facilities, and connected logistical services.

The Kahles great line of rifle scopes features great innovative designs, high product durability and effective performance. Part of the Kahles scopes distinction from other optical brands is its user-friendly system. Constant and up-to-date improvements are being planned about to execution so that their customers can enjoy the features that will aid them in the sport.

The Kahles line of rifle scope each has its own defining specifications and specialty that make up its personality and caters to the demands of its systematic customers. With an average price tag of $500 to $2500, depending on the scope model, Kahles rifle scopes are not on the lower end of the price scale. As such, it’s obvious that Kahles scopes aren't for everyone. But what it lacks in sales appeal it makes up for in durability and innovative designs. Kahles is actually a great investment that outlasts other rifle scope brands in the years to come. Most likely, a Kahles purchased 5 years ago that has been taken care of will sell for 60% to 75% of it's original purchase price today.

Kahles also takes pride in its introduction of the very first waterproof scopes in the market back in the 60’s. Kahles also manufactured the first “fully and multi-coated optics system” in the market during the early 70’s. These multi coatings are all applied in glass surfaces. Back then, people were saying that the Kahles rifle scopes had outclassed the best of the industry’s finest when it came to better light transmissions in the scopes by an amazing 10-14%. This is one of the reasons why Kahles is so established these days. They are regarded as pioneers in rifle scope breakthrough developments.

The Austrian brand of optics has long been recognized in the hunting community due to the big boys: Kahles and fellow optics giant Swarovski. Both were known to have the same parent corporation though they operate as separate entities. As said before, Kahles does its own manufacturing and engineering. Their in-house designs are not accessible even to Swarovski. And because of this, Kahles rifle scopes are acknowledged to be the premier in the industry all over Europe.

Even with the expensive status, Kahles maintains its belief on the uncompromising standards of quality. It’s the Kahles standard that is the name of the game. Some of the conspicuous points that affect scope performance after having specified the finest raw materials for your desired designs are the lens grind accuracy and the fine levels of polish in the final lens themselves.

Kahles has already been in the business for more than a century and counting. And it will always be one of the best manufacturers of rifle scopes so if you’re looking for one, go for a Kahles.
