A great kahles scope - Kahles Helia KXi 3.5-10x50 Rifle Scope

I currently own scopes from Schmidt & Bender, Swarovski, Minox, Meopta, and numerous other "upper crust" scopes. This scope has quickly become my favorite. It is built like a tank; it is lightweight; the glass is as bright and clear as my Swaros; and there is no appreciable difference between it and my Schmidt & Benders. This is a top tier scope - just as good in every way as Schmidt and Bender, Swarovski, and Zeiss - AKA "the Big Three." Low light performance beats my Swarovski scopes and is just as bright as my 56mm Schmidt and Bender Klassik. Given the overall undeniable quality and features coupled with a much lower price than competing European scopes with similar features, I could not recommend spending the extra money for a competing scope from the "Big Three."
Pros: Exceptionally bright and clear glass; easy to use; great illuminated reticle; and meticulous build quality.
Cons: None.
