Is there a place that will allow you to rent scopes? Ive seen some places that do but they dont carry anything Id use for LR. Im really wanting to look into a Kahles 525i

Its called the Snipers Hide exchange. Buy used. Try it out. Sell it. Repeat.
If you pay attention to what stuff actually sells for, you can try out anything any get most if not all your money back. If you lose a little then there is your rental fee.
I did’t know what dirtbike I wanted so I bought them all. Let them go slowly one by one until I kept the KTM. I made money in this example. This technique works with everything.

That's an excellent concept. I like it. Currently trying to sell my 05 harley to put towards a scope. Lol. I dont ride it enough to keep it around and would rather put it towards something I would use.
A few years ago there was a place that tried renting out high end tactical rifle scopes, forget the name, evidently it didn't work out. All I've seen recently is some non-tactical hunting lower power stuff, and general optics like binoculars/spotting scopes.
Buy deals used and recover most of your $ is the best option if you like to play the try a bunch of scopes option, with low financial risk, as long as you have tons of freed up $ to get multiples at the same time to actually compare them. That said, I'm always a bit leary of things like optics used, especially if you don't get a transferrable warranty. The same used to be true of camera lenses before digital SLR bodies could adjust their sensor planes to the lens for max sharpness. Guys would buy 3-4 lenses, pick the best one and sell/return the rest. Buying used there's always the risk of getting someone else's lemon.

I started a scope rental company last year.
I raised some money but it wasn’t enough to get get the good stuff.
I see a lot of potential in it. But I sold everything off and let it all die.
You need a lot of capital to start to have a healthy inventory of the new stuff people want to try.
I had a whole plan and user agreement and everything. I wish I had the money and drive to do it. I’m not sure why major scope retailers don’t do it
