Cranston, Rhode Island - SWAROVSKI OPTIK NORTH AMERICA, a subsidiary of the Austrian based company, announces the NEW KAHLES K3.5-18x50 Ultrashort riflescope.

The K318i is perfection packed into an ultrashort housing. To achieve highest performance standards despite short-build design it took many years of development and the latest technologies. The optical system with it ?s wide field of view and a brilliant, exceptional high contrast image sets new standards for ultrashort riflescopes.

The rugged K318i with its practical magnification range, first focal plane reticle has been developed for tactical use and long distances. It is intended to help ambitious shooters to achieve record performance. The clearly defined, precise clicks, together with the exceptional repeat accuracy provide the highest precision and reliability. The Kahles exclusive operating elements with the parallax wheel integrated in the elevation turret, enables easy handling for both right and left handed shooters. All operating elements provide maximum grip and can also be used with gloves comfortably. The essential information on the turrets is clearly readable from the aiming position. And the large adjustment range provides enough reserve for each situation. Consequently, at competitions, the shooter can fully concentrate on the essentials.

The innovative, patented TWIST GUARD windage with it ?s freely rotating end cover, reliably prevents accidental movement of the windage. This simple solution not only protects the windage from accidental movement, it also allows the shooter a fast and unhindered handling of the windage. The Allen key for zeroing the turrets is housed in the cap of the illumination unit and therefore always easily available.

A pioneer in riflescopes since 1898 and backed by a wealth of tradition, KAHLES is known throughout the world for their pioneering spirit and capability to deliver exceptional quality optics. KAHLES products are manufactured in Guntramsdorf, located near Vienna, Austria.
