Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

Ok so if the optical formula isn’t changed then how is it different than the gen 2 5-42? It isn’t except for some cosmetic and reticle changes. So my post stands, when I reviewed the 5-42 gen 2 the eyebox wasn’t great and the parallax was still very picky. Had to adjust it multiple times per stages and the band was very narrow at different yardages. So much so that adjusting it even the slightest would throw my TriggerCam out of focus. On other scopes like my ZCO moving the parallax doesn’t change the camera focus hardly if at all. I only say that to illustrate how it was. I don’t dislike March and they do a lot of good things and you got to them sales numbers up I get it, but damn this ain’t the way to get it done chief.
Your experiences don’t mimic those of folks actually shooting the optic in competition so I guess we can agree to disagree. I will say all wide angle optics will inherently have tighter eyeboxes than those of standard configurations. That too affects the kahles 328/540

At no point did I say the optical side or the optic had changed, what has is much of the turret look and feel, the reticle, feature sets. I was at SHOT I remember you coming by the booth. Again I’ll reiterate that YOU personally haven’t used the PRS Edition as I indicated.

Active shooter killed in attempt to ambush Border Patrol agents in Texas

Perp is dead. Good...hope it hurt.
One of my dudes said he was wearing body armor and a BORTAC supervisor Mozambiqued his ass.

Not hard to believe. BORTAC is some of the most spun up, hard core, hard training dudes I've seen.

Lmao don’t do that. I literally asked Mari at SHOT if the optical formula had been changed from the gen II and she said no. What’s poor taste is thinking you have any credibility left after this shill job. Go sell cars clown.

XLR Chassis Build Thread

View attachment 8723203This is a 6.5 creed 18” Bartlein carbon.
I really wish they’d make a magnesium chassis in this form factor or even bring this back. Love the enclosed tube forend. Looks sick and functional. Just ordered a NV bridge for my element 4.0 so I can rest my hand on it in certain positions.

Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 28MAY25) Update!!!

Having just re-read this thread ... it only makes me want this barrel more.

Also, Bigjake83's assm. advice is worthy of a sticky.

Anyone know if G is going to make more ?

And those 20rd groups of BHA 77gr are a thing of beauty.

The Phased Array Gas System, intrigues me greatly. I mean, who thinks up that kind of stuff !? G apparently has some rocket scientists working for them.

I want to shoot one just to feel the recoil impulse. Sad, I know.. but I am a AR junkie.

When I see things like this, I'm certain we need another civil war. It's beyond time to eliminate these folks.

We can all agree we must do something.
We can all agree we need to change culture for the better.
We can mostly I assume in this group of people agree Islam flooding into the west any further can’t continue.
Etc.

How we adress these things and fight the left and or some on the right that go to far are where the arguments are.

I have said what I have said because of the above. I don’t disagree that things need to be done. I disagree however for various reasons on why a civil Cold War shouldn’t become a hot one.
To be clear, my mention of a civil war is just hyperbole. I have no desire to see my friends and family deal with war on their doorsteps. I hope that never happens, but I think we get closer to it every day.

Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

@GreenGO Juan

Did a lot of reading and according to guys who live breathe eat 12V Cummins…

Check my line pressure at wot in OD, locked with a mechanical gauge in the accumulator port. Note the pressure.

At my mild power level, I should replace the 2nd gear apply (kickdown) band strut and anchor because they bend when you increase line pressure to above 115 PSI.

Check the band for wear and if worn replace with a “slip in” band available a lot of places. You can replace it fairly easily in the truck when you’re doing the strut and anchor. Just dropping valve body gives access. I watched some videos and not hard.

Based on my measured before line pressure, turn line pressure regulator adjustment out (to increase pressure) 3-4 PSI per turn to get 120-135 PSI which will make the TCC, bands and clutches not slip and handle well above where this truck is.

Adjust bands, change fluid/filter and use Dex 3 or Type F (ATF4 they say is too slick) as they will increase clutch and TCC grip.

According to these folks, the above will make an otherwise healthy trans last a long long time at power under 250HP/600TQ

Also, I already knew the fluid doesn’t circulate in park position but they suggest letting trans cool in neutral (not park) after hard towing and also neutral for warming up on a cold day.

We may finally know who’s been to the island

What’s the point of thousands of hours of blackmail video on politicians and celebrities if no one ever gets exposed? I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but wouldn’t someone have been made an example of?

Hell, maybe that’s the con. Make up a whole lore about a mossad blackmail operation having a bunch of dirt on everyone that knew JE. Everyone who ever met JE thinks that their dirt is logged/recorded. Like maybe that rub and tug you got from a questionably young looking bottle girl as a hip young state senator wasn’t just random and you better play ball.

You literally have NEVER used the PRS model of the scope so incredibly misleading post to say the least. In fact have you ever even seen the March PRS edition in person, no you haven’t.

There is a PRS edition of the scope for a reason and comparing the standard March 5-42 Gen 2 to the 540 isn’t the correct comparison, nor is it the optic I’m speaking of.

Love it or hate it and believe what you’d like there have been several occasions where shooters have compared the PRS Edition March to the kahles and the general consensus was that the March is in fact a better all around package for PRS.

Increasing the ocular AOV of a scope will increase overall FOV however it does in fact make the eyebox tighter and shorter, this isn’t my opinion it’s actually how optics work in general. Kahles put a 52mm ocular on the 540 to combat this issue and while it did help some the optic is actually difficult to maintain sight picture under recoil. In fact so much so several of the sponsored shooters for Kahles do not run this model and have stayed with the 525 DLR.

The turrets on the March are in fact better and the Kahles windage turret is in fact small, has entirely too tight click spacing, and overall is difficult to turn which is compounded by the anti spin feature that when grabbed between knurling basics means you have to grab the entire turret with your hand.

The glass in the kahles just flat out isn’t as good as the March and it’s been compared side by side over and over and virtually everyone who looks through the March is blown away by the glass quality and its ability to cut mirage which is does flat out better than the market ZCO and Theta included.

Kahles has also already had some issues with the 540 and shooter have had to send them back, I’m sure Kahles will get this sorted but let’s be real here…. The Kahles isn’t perfect and to shit in an optic you’ve never used is poor taste at best.

I am also not some spnsored shooter for March I am the designer behind the prs scope and the reticle designer and of course I have a bias opinion. The reality is my opinion isn’t the one I am speaking of here it’s various other Shiites who have indicated this with direct comparisons.
Lmao don’t do that. I literally asked Mari at SHOT if the optical formula had been changed from the gen II and she said no. What’s poor taste is thinking you have any credibility left after this shill job. Go sell cars clown.
