The Kahles 3.5-18x50 K 318i Riflescope is built to deliver precise performance packed into a compact form factor, providing tactical and long-distance shooters an invaluable optic to give them the confidence to take even the most challenging shots.

Its broad magnification range allows you to scan the terrain for targets on low power then dial it up to make a positive identification and take the shot. To add even more precision, the partially-illuminated reticle is placed on the first focal plane, so the subtensions remain accurate at all magnifications, and the thin hairs are illuminated to make it easier to see in low or challenging light.

Shot corrections are made at 0.1 MIL per turret click with a broad 30 MIL elevation range to provide long-distance shooters the adjustments they need. To make room for the illumination rheostat, Kahles integrates the parallax adjustment into the elevation turret, with a right-side windage turret that makes it easier to reach for those who shoot left-handed. These tactical turrets are exposed and finger-adjustable to make fast corrections in the field, and the Allen key required to zero the riflescope is safely stowed in the illumination turret cap so there's no need to carry extra tools.

Designed to withstand the heavy recoils of the large-caliber rifles used in long-range hunting shooting, and to provide the space required for the wide elevation adjustment range, the K318i is built with a robust 34mm 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. Protecting the scope is a neoprene pull-over cover that not only buffers impacts and hits but keeps the lenses clean and clear.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. does this have auto focus ?

A: No, it does not autofocus, however the depth of field is narrow so that within a distant image you can adjust the focus to a small area while the overall image is still quite focused. I really like this binocular, and use it almost daily. I live in a mountainous area and use it to focus on an opposing ridge to spot wild game movements. We see deer, bear, bobcats, and Cougars. I would recommend this product.

Q: 2. How do I install this wrist strap? Is there a manual or video?
