Rifle Scopes Kahles new reticle for 5-25

Pretty dang cluttered. I feel like it has 10k of the same size line the more I look at it

That reticle has cancer.

 

[RePp]

That's pretty terrible.

 

[WeiserBucks]

Straight dog shit

It's like they copied the S&B GRiD2 reticle, but somehow made it exponentially worse. Kahles just has terrible reticles, which is a shame considering how good their glass is.

They’ve had this reticle for like 8 years but I thought it went away. It’s not as bad in person but there’s so many better options...I believe they did it with Desert Tech back in the day.

That reticle has been around for years. I had 3 K624s with AMRs and loved the reticle. That is a bad picture. It was the best tree style reticle available in .2 mil increments before Mil XT, MPCT2/3, etc. Too bad it's attached to Kahles.... The dots don't clutter nearly as bad when looking through the scope. It is the best reticle Kahles offers for competition. Yes I had SKMR3 and the AMR is better in every way.

Horrible!

This is how it looks in the 624i:


Way less intrusive in real life than it looks on paper.

Dude. Yes it is. Too me, this looks very easy to process under pressure and seems to provide a lot more transparency than I would have imagined.

Had one in the K624i. Wasn’t too cluttered but I did not like the open center. Would have preferred a center dot.

I think the big difference here with the 5-25 is they shifted the entire reticle up so the optical center is now at the 2 mil line instead of center crosshairs. Not sure what to think of that.

I shot H37s for years when they were the state of the art and the offset from optical center always annoyed me. I believe it’s 5 mils, I’m not sure if 2 would be as egregious.

So your zero is closer to optical center?

 

[Night Vision Viking]

Kind of like the GR2ID. It works!

Never look at the CAD, always looks cluttered.

People thinking this is a new reticle is LOL.

Been around forever, its a great reticle but I don't know why you would get it over the SKMR3 that kind of replaced it.

I said it was new to the 5-25. Not a new reticle.

They moved your zero point ABOVE optical center. Interesting. I assume this gives you an additional 2 MIL of holdover at max magnification. At least it's uniform unlike the SKMR4 that uses 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 holds randomly throughout the reticle.
