PRODUCT FOCUS dot in the middle. This scope will also focus down to 8 meters which is quite close for a high power scope. I mounted the scope on one of my F-Class rifles (7/270 WSM) and took it to a local 1,000 yard BR match so the shooters could take a look through it and compare it to the Nightforce 12-42x BR and Nightforce 15-55x52 Competition scope positioned on the same bench. All were impressed with the look and feel of the scope. Everyone felt it had brighter, clearer optics than the Nightforce 12-42x BR scope, but judged it to be a bit below the Nightforce 15-55x Competition sitting beside it. Of course the clarity and brightness of a scope is not everything to a competitive shooter. Reliable adjustments, ease of use and the ability to hold point of aim mean much more to us. Most everyone liked the hashmark reticle with its floating dot in the center. The hashmarks are calibrated at 40X. Each hashmark is one MOA (minute of angle). The scope mounted on one of the author's F-class rifles during the testing process. 16 AUGUST 2017 | SSUSA.ORG The lines making up the reticle are thick (0.035 moa) which is a good thing for older F-Class shooters. The center dot measures 0.088 MOA at 40X. Everyone felt the clicks in both elevation and windage had an extremely solid feel. To further checkout the Kahles, I hot footed to my Rod and Gun Club 100 yard range as soon as the winds were predicted to moderate below a full gale. My intent was to shoot a few groups and do a "box test" to check the tracking of the scope for windage and elevation and to get an idea of the repeatability of the adjustments. The stats state the clicks are worth 1/8th MOA per click. For reference, one MOA is equal to 1.047-inch at 100 yards. To test this I first zeroed the scope at 100 yards and then clicked in 26 minutes of elevation (208 clicks). I wanted to cover the adjustment rang of a LR F-Class/1k BR shooter. This should move the group impact up 27.222-inches. The actual impact was 27.75-inches or a little over 0.5-inch higher than you would expect. I next clicked 5 MOA (40 clicks) left. The group center moved 5.5-inches left. This compares to the calculated 5.235-inches. I then clicked down 26 MOA and again the group center moved down 27.75-inches. To finalize the test I clicked back to the original position by clicking 5 MOA right. The group over lapped the original one. So we can say the scope tracks very well but the adjustments figured out to be a skooch more than one minute of angle. Of course this might be due to trigger puller error or wind changes.http://www.SSUSA.ORG
