Kahles K18i Overview

Designed with the needs of competition shooters in mind, the KAHLES 1-8x24 K18i Riflescope delivers the performance required to bring home the gold. Its low-power optical system and large field of view, coupled with fully multicoated lens surfaces, is crafted to deliver outstanding clarity, excellent edge sharpness, and high contrast with maximized light transmission. An 8x zoom mechanism provides near reflex sight performance on 1x with the ability to dial up the magnification and take longer shots with confidence and precision.

Complementing the optical system is a specially designed 3-gun reticle that offers illuminated aiming points with variable intensity that includes their proprietary Max Light system.. Shot corrections are made at 0.1 MRAD with 24 MILs of adjustment range on both the windage and elevation turrets. Capped with a low profile, the windage turret cap holds a spare battery to keep your reticle illuminated on those long days out of doors.

Designed to withstand repeated recoil and harsh conditions, the K18i is built with a robust 30mm one-piece maintube made of lightweight and durable aluminum treated with a scratch-resistant anodized finish. The housing is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to make it waterproof and resistant to internal fogging in extreme weather conditions and temperatures. To make magnification transitions easier when wearing gloves or in cold and wet conditions, KAHLES includes two removable throw levers—one short and one long—so you can choose the right one for your needs and comfort.

Optical Performance
  • 1-8x magnification is ideal for close to medium-range applications, 3-gun competitions, and varmint hunting—with the low power offering near reflex sight target acquisition and tracking speed
  • Compact 24mm objective lens presents a low profile and light weight to make carrying and maneuvering easier
  • AMV optical coatings provide sharp, brilliant, and high-detail images
  • Optical system offers high transmission and high edge-to-edge image clarity
  • Oleophobic coating repels oil and prevents fingerprint stains
  • Wide 128-foot field of view at 100 yards enables fast target acquisition, while 16' at 8x allows for precise shot placement at longer ranges
  • Parallax set at 100yd/m
3GR Reticle
  • Modified duplex crosshair design optimized for 3-gun competitions
  • Second focal plane reticle placement
  • Proprietary Max Light illumination system provides sharp and clear aiming points in heavy backlit conditions when red dots are often difficult to see—use of this system will shorten battery life
  • Thin outer posts on horizontal and lower vertical axes
  • Fine inner hairs that extend through the upper vertical axis provide aiming points without obstructing the target or interfering with the view
  • Two illuminated red aiming dots—one in the middle and one lower for ballistic compensation when taking longer shots
  • Graduated holdover lines under the center for ballistic drop and wind compensation
  • Day and night illumination settings
  • Auto-off if the intensity dial is not touched for 2 hours to lengthen battery life
  • Runs on one included CR2032 battery
Use and Handling
  • Large zoom collar with infinite adjustment through the magnification range
  • Two included and removable throw levers provide an improved user interface in cold and wet weather or when wearing gloves
  • Precise 0.1 MRAD impact point correction
  • Generous 24 MIL windage and elevation adjustment range
  • Zero reset turrets
  • Low-profile capped turrets reduce snag hazards for faster and easier movement

  • M27x0.75 objective lens threads allow the installation of filters, like ND or polarizing, to improve view when using on or near the water or in snowy conditions
  • Wide exit pupil at low power is ideal for fast shooting
  • Long 3.74" eye relief provides a generous eye box to enhance comfort while looking through the eyepiece
