The view in person was stunning. The plates were very easy to see and frankly I was surprised at how big they appeared when I first looked through the scope. I took my USO 3.2-17 and had to run at 15X to have the same apparent size. There was no problem centering the reticle in the plates I was holding 1 mil into the wind and it was easy to center the mildot in the plate. The 1k targets are at the tree line as viewed to the right of the scope on the horizon. The clarity and resolution of this scope is stunning.

Note the 500 yard targets in the bottom of the scope and 750 at the right.
The 1k targets are at the tree line as viewed to the right of the scope on the horizon.

The turrets track spot on.

To say I am extremely impressed with this scope is an understatement. With glass this good you don't need any more magnification. It's a fairly compact and light scope too.
I would be thrilled to run this for scope for everything from tactical matches out to 1k to hunting.

I have tested into low light and would have no issue dropping the hammer on a deer past legal hunting time in Texas.

Great review Charles!

I am jealous as I can never get through the scope shots that good!

Excited to see what you think of the K624i
 
Re: Kahles K312 range day at 1k with reticle pics

Ready for one
One of our staff guys wants to run it on his 300

I wish I could have really captured the view at 1k
Need to go back and try again
 
Re: Kahles K312 range day at 1k with reticle pics

That would be me!
I'm completely blown away by how nice the 12x, but as ccoker said I really need something to get "out there" with on my .300wm that's currently running USO glass.

Is the K624i available?
 
Re: Kahles K312 range day at 1k with reticle pics

I got to look through the 624i down at sport optics a few weeks back. It was the nicest scope to get behind out of all the ones I looked at. If I can fit it in I will own one for my Christmas present to me this year.

I would like to say thanks to Talley for supplying us with rings.
They have been great to deal with and their stuff works.
From the lightweight rings to the tactical rings that I would put up against any ring on the market.
