Kahles K318i REFINED 3.5–18×50 – Compact precision rifle scope for the highest demands
The Kahles K318i REFINED combines maximum optical performance, precise mechanics and sophisticated ergonomics in an exceptionally compact design. It is aimed at demanding sport shooters and long-range users who are looking for a versatile riflescope with uncompromising repeat accuracy and intuitive operation.
The REFINED models from Kahles are based on the proven features of the K series and specifically improve operation and overview without changing the familiar handling. Redesigned turrets with a uniform 10-MIL concept, optimised ergonomics of the controls and an enlarged field of view ensure faster orientation and more intuitive settings in practical use.
In addition, parallax adjustment and reticles have been further refined to ensure more precise handling and better readability. The aim of the REFINED series is not to redefine, but to consistently optimise details for greater control, clarity and efficiency in sporting shooting.
This model uses the lighting-enhanced SKMR4 reticle, with the side adjustment located on the left-hand side.
High magnification range:
With 3.5–18× magnification and a 5x zoom, the K318i REFINED covers both close and distant ranges – from quick target acquisition to precise hits at a distance.
Reticle in the first image plane:
The finely structured, illuminated reticle in the first image plane (FFP) remains proportional across the entire zoom range, enabling accurate distance measurement and hold points – regardless of the magnification.
Ergonomic design and intuitive operation:
The centrally located controls allow for comfortable and quick adjustments directly from the shooting position without repositioning your hands. The parallax adjustment is integrated into the elevation tower, and the windage adjustment can be mounted on either the left or right side.
Precise adjustment and clear feedback:
Elevation and windage adjustment turrets with 100 clicks per turn and easy-to-read EASYREAD markings ensure quick, tactile adjustment steps even under demanding conditions.
Zero-Stop and TwistGuard:
The mechanical zero stop allows reproducible return to the zero position after shooting. The patented TwistGuard anti-rotation device prevents unintentional adjustments of the side adjustment.
Optimised view and high image quality:
A large field of view and high light transmission provide a bright, high-contrast image, even in poor lighting conditions. The 50 mm optics ensure high detail sharpness across the entire magnification range.
Compact and robust design:
With a 34 mm main tube, a length of approx. 313 mm and a weight of around 950 g, the K318i REFINED offers high performance with a small footprint – ideal for modern, slim rifle platforms.
Long-term reliability:
The riflescope is pressure-waterproof and fog-free.
