Just an update, got my scope back early on in the week. Just didn't get a chance to post results here. Anyway all is well now and I'm very happy. There was a note in the box explaining what had been done but regarding repair it just said 'objective modified'. When i sent it I included a note...

Had an email from Kahles this morning to say my scope is ready. Leaving Austria for the UK importers today, they received it on Friday 29th August and was ready on friday past so one week from receiving it. Cant really complain about that. Now I just have to wait for it to arrive back with me...

Thank you for passing it on. Scope is being collected tomorrow to be forwarded to UK importers and sent on to Kahles Austria at the beginning of the week, in an email from Kahles they have assured me repair time with them will not be longer than 3-4 days. Very satisfied with the service thus far.

Just to say the US Kahles importer has been in touch to try and help resolve my issue, that was appreciated! My UK dealer has been great too in trying to resolve things and hope to have some news today about a final solution.

I will get another if one can be sourced but I wont sent it back for repair, its too expensive a scope to buy brand new to then have to send away and be without for many weeks or months. Everything else about the scope I do really love but as you say on a scope of this value it should never have...

Thats interesting Dennis. I'm not bashing Kahles at all, I really love the scope but its just a long way off and when you pay that sort of money you expect it to be perfect. I spoke to the dealer and he is going to try and get a hold of another 624i with MSR reticle and exchange it. Only problem...

Sorry JL I should have specified, I actually meant the left/right white upright edges of the window. Here:

Couple of pictures through some other mil-dot reticles, couple are sideways as they were attached to rifles and couldn't get my camera behind them in vertical. As far as I can see all the others are reading around 3.6-3.65 mils across the white part of the window apart from no.1. (White edge to...

Thats interesting mines a gen2 with MSR as well. How long was he told he'd have to wait?

Thanks for the input guys. Pretty sure my distance was ok. I measured it twice with the tape to double check after seeing the discrepancy in the reticle. Just to double check I used my Swarovski laser as well, I know accuracy is advertised at +/-1 yard but at the point where it measured 100...

That was my initial feeling but just wanted to hear what others thought. Thanks.

Yup I measured it precisely as 300 feet and also had a steel tape on the target and 3 feet on that equaled 9.6 mils on the reticle.

Yes its a Gen 2, bought new here in the UK.

Received my K624i yesterday and mounted it up and took it out today to zero/test/play. I wanted to do a tall target test to verify the click values. So I very carefully measured on a tall piece of whiteboard intervals of 18" on a plumbed vertical line and also hung my steel measuring tape...

What I meant, all other things being equal, i.e. powder charge, increasing the o.a.l. of the cartridge will decrease pressure as long as the bullet isn't jammed in the lands, when its jammed pressure increases, a lot. How much exactly I don't know but QuickLoad suggests adding 7200 psi to your...

Closer to the lands will actually decrease pressure, until you make contact with them. Quickload suggests adding 7200psi if you're seated to touch the lands.

Thanks all, just to further confirm on further testing it is now perfect, no issues! You and several others were right on the money! It seems, on some rifles at least, the ADM mount benefits from being closed as tight as you possibly can. And as an extra bonus right on zero too! Thanks again.

Pleased to say it appears to be thoroughly fixed!:D I shot it this morning all 5 into .7" with no flier. All over an 1/8th of a turn of a nut! Obviously on the trip home each time previously something must have been moving slightly and the first shot was slamming it back up against the recoil...

I've turned the nuts another 1/8th and closed them down and will retest today. I did try turning two flats but it took a huge amount of force to close the front one and then had huge difficulty getting it open with a small piece of bar levering it open, the rear one was impossible to close. When...

The problem with rings is its quite a big scope and I'm 6'2" so I need the scope forward on some cantilever arrangement like the ADM. Plus I'd hate to give up on the ADM, its a nice mount!
