The Kahles CSX is by far the most advanced illuminated reticle scope in the world. No other scope has these features.
They shocked the world with this technology and they are currently the only company in the world to illuminate the reticle in this fashion. Most scopes use a mirror projection system to illuminate the reticle which causes a 10-15% light loss in the scopes performance. Projected reticles can only be seen if they are turned on. Kahles illuminates the reticle by shining 4 LED's into the reticle from the side. The reticle pattern is etched onto the lens and lights up when the scope is on and appears black when the scope is off. They can make any reticle pattern they want as opposed to just a dot or a plus sign. |

I want some info on the new kahles CL multizero scopes specifically the 3-10x50 and the 4-12x52. They are in the new Buckmasters Gun Hunter magazine. Prices aren't bad and they seem like real neat scopes. Especially the way they match the crosshairs to the caliber, any caliber so that you don't need all that extra (dots, drop lines, etc).
If anyone knows where to find some info I sure would appreciate it??!!??

Similar to the new Burris "Sako Quad Scope" and it is built for the Sako rimfire rifle package that features 4 interchangeable barrels in .22lr, .17 Mach II, .17 HMR and .22 Magnum. The color coding matches the color coding on the Sako barrels. You can sight in each barrel with out losing you zero for the other barrels.
The Kahles has better cosmetics.

The cut away picture above shows the complexity of the micro clutch system used in the new Multi Zero scopes.
The picture with the running pig shows a good view of the CSX switch. You pull it out to turn it on and simply twist it up to brighten or down to dim. The switch only moves about a 1/4 of a turn before it stops so adjustments are rapid. There are no detent clicks so its operation is smooth and noiseless. When it gets to the brightest setting it flashes to let you know. Once you get the brightness to the level you like, you simply bump the switch up or down and it turns the reticle off and saves the brightness setting, so when its time to shoot you simply bump it up or down and it lights up at the previous setting. Pushing the entire switch in turns it off and erases the memory.
This new switch system combined with the way the reticle is illuminated is way ahead of any competition including Swarovski. The Kahles CSX is setting sales records in Europe as we speak. |
