This page lists all Kahles rifle scopes and red dot reflex sights, with available reticles, street prices, features, and links to official product pages, merchants, and reviews. Kahles, the oldest long-range optics manufacturer in Austria, is a 100% owned subsidiary of Swarovski. Updated: January 28, 2021, 9 optics, 27 reticles.
Kahles rifle scopes are considered “alpha tier” optics by competitors in the Precision Rifle Series and National Rifle League, and are often compared to brands such as Schmidt & Bender and Minox. Founded in 1898, Kahles pioneered rifle scope technologies such as variable power, multi-coatings, and water-proofing O-ring seals. Kahles offers rifles scopes with the option to place the windage turret on the left side of the scope for left-handed shooters. Turrets are also offered in both clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) configurations. Kahles is unique in offering parallax adjustment integrated into the elevation turret (instead of the more typical side-focus design).
