So I was looking into a Kahles and their Competition KA418 (4-18x50) . I was wondering what people felt about Kahles? Have you had positive experiences with it? Negative? What is the glass quality like? What are the turrets like? What is their "zerostop" system like (easy/hard/good/bad)? Does it take a beating? Ever had problems with it? Tracking good?
If you can answer any/all of these it would be of great service to me! I mean they are half the price of a Schmidt and Bender or a Nightforce. Yet they have been innovative over the years, and are the oldest Optics company still around in the world today. They make their Scopes out of Austria and haven't exported to China or somewhere. So is their quality just not that good and is why they are so "cheap" or are they just reasonably priced even though they have years behind them? I would think they make quality scopes to still be around over 100 years later?
Anyway, again any input would be helpful.
Thanks,
- Adam
