Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

[GBMaryland]

Probably… But that also might apply given how stiff and a pain in the ass it was to adjust.

Wrong appendage.

How do you believe it compares to the ZCO 8–40?

Also, are the turrets stiff and difficult to adjust or are they smooth? (Unlike the 624i I originally purchased back in the day….)

Give me a call at 916-628-3490 and I can discuss the pros and cons of each with you

Notice how they don’t have Schmidt in there…. The proper big boy review would have been a 6–36X56 Schmidt.

Maybe they'll update the review after June 2026 when the Swarovski patent expires and they can compare a full FOV S&B 6-36... That would be a much more fair comparison than using the current FOV limited US market version.

I'm going to try my best not to buy any more scopes until after June of 2026 to see what comes to market after the patent expiration.

Where did you get a date of June 2026?

Good point!

Ilya posted it recently in another thread. Look at the bottom for adjusted expiration date. He believes it to be correct as some of the later stacked patents were abandoned.

New Schmidt Bender?
