OPTIC – KAHLES – K 525i CCW 5-25×56 SKMR w-left MRAD

The Kahles 5-25×56 K525i scope is built to deliver precise performance for long-range shooters, making it an invaluable optic that gives you the confidence to take even the most challenging shots. The threads in front of the objective lens accept filters, such as polarized and neutral density, to enhance and improve views and image clarity in extreme conditions like snowy fields or on/near water.

Its wide magnification range lets you scan terrain for targets at low power, then call them in for positive ID and a shot. To add even more precision, the partially illuminated reticle is placed on the first focal plane so holdovers stay accurate at all magnifications, and the fine hairs are illuminated to make it easier to see in low or difficult light.

Shot corrections are made at 0.1 MIL/click with a wide 29 MIL elevation range to give long-range shooters the space they need. To make room for the illumination rheostat, Kahles integrates parallax adjustment into the elevation turret, with the windage turret on the left side for easy access for right-handed shooters. These tactical turrets are exposed and finger-adjustable for quick field corrections, and the hex key needed to zero the scope is stored in the illumination turret cap, so no extra tools are needed.

Designed to withstand the rigors of hunting, the K525i is built with a rugged 34 mm one-piece main tube made of lightweight, durable aluminium that can handle the heavy recoil associated with high-caliber rifles used in hunting and long-range shooting. The housing is nitrogen-filled and sealed with O-rings to make it waterproof and resistant to internal fogging in extreme weather and temperatures. A neoprene cover is included to protect the entire scope from bumps, knocks, and impacts, ensuring the ocular and objective lenses stay clear and clean while moving through brush.

Optical Performance

The wide 5-25x zoom range allows users to scan the landscape for targets at low power, then increase magnification for close observation and identification

The large 56 mm objective lens absorbs the light needed to ensure views remain bright and clear in low or difficult light conditions and when aiming at extremely long distances at maximum magnification

Field of view of 21 feet at 100 yards at 5x, 4.5 feet at 25x

SKMR Reticle

First focal plane placement keeps reticle holdovers accurate at all magnifications to improve precision

Duplex sight design with modified range

Duplex reticle design based on MIL

Long, thick non-illuminated outer posts on upper horizontal and vertical axes

Short, thin illuminated central hairs with lower vertical hairs extending to the edge

Illumination improves visibility in low and difficult light conditions

Extended lower vertical hairs provide easy ballistic drop calculation for accurate long-range shots without needing to adjust turrets or provide extra elevation space when the elevation turret adjustment has reached its maximum

Etched on glass for permanence with no chance of shifting over time

Variable reticle brightness allows precise brightness based on personal preference or situation

Operates with included CR2032 battery
