Does anyone here have any personal experience with Karl Kaps scopes?

Apparently, they are now imported to US and are pretty reasonably priced compared to other German scopes.  They also claim to have a daylight visible illuminated dot in their new 1-4x22 scope.

I also find their 4x28 MIL scope interesting.

For a mid-range hunting scope, they offer a 2-8x42, which seems interesting since upon reflection I think I would rather have 2x on low end then 9x on high end.

the website that i found that carries them is vary vague and doesn't have pictures of reticles - let us know if you find out more about them.  I'll keep looking as well.
 
they have some interesting offerings though. what do you know about the glass quality, Ilya?

I do not know a whole lot about these.  They have an english version of their website which provides a touch more information.  I have also heard a few people say nice things about these scopes, but no first-hand information.

Kaps is an older and smaller company that has had problems getting a US distributor.

I have seen the Kaps Optik scopes at a gun show in Hattiesburg, Ms. They seem well constructed and had great glass. They, like Seeadler and Pecar, do not try to make the scopes "pretty" like the upper end German companies. This helps keep the costs down. I would like to try one for myself, and if I see them again, I will, and will post the results.

Moving back to the original topic, if anyone from SWFA is reading this, can you guys get a hold of a Kaps scope?  I am considering trying one out.

Thanks.

Hi,
     I have a German friend who advised me that the Karl Kaps scopes are similar to S & B in build and quality, but much cheaper.
 
He always used S & B but now he has two Karl Kaps scopes.
 
Hope this helps.
