Re: thinking of buying CDNN,s kahales 3x10 by 50
The CL is a very short scope. I couldn't mount this scope on a Ruger MkII 77 with standard rings. The chambered part of the barrel contacted the objective bell, on a 22" sporter.
Otherwise, crips optics, tactile adjustments and side focus. A really nice optic.
I've notice CDNN's inventory on these are slowly going down. Kahles is currently only selling their CSX and K lines (both $2K range), anything that is still on the market carries the full warranty, but when they're gone, you'll have to wait for more affordable lines to be released.
If you use or can use high rings for your project I think you'd be pleased.
