Kahles K525i REFINED 5–25×56 – Long-range riflescope for maximum precision
The Kahles K525i REFINED stands for uncompromising precision at medium and long ranges. It combines high optical performance, robust mechanics and ergonomic operation in a design tailored to long-range applications. Developed for ambitious sport shooters and competition users who expect maximum repeatability, clear readability and absolute reliability.
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 right-hand side.
Large magnification range:
With 5–25× magnification and a 5x zoom, the K525i REFINED covers a wide range from precise medium-range shots to demanding long-range distances, always providing a stable, detailed target image.
Reticle in the first image plane:
The illuminated reticle in the 1st image plane (FFP) remains true to scale across the entire magnification range. This enables precise distance measurements and hold points regardless of the selected magnification.
Ergonomic design and intuitive operation:
The controls are clearly structured and designed for efficient use from the firing position. The parallax adjustment is ergonomically integrated, and the side adjustment can be mounted on the left or right depending on preference.
Precise adjustment and clear feedback:
Elevation and windage adjustment turrets with 100 clicks per turn and easy-to-read markings enable quick, accurate and reproducible settings – even under competition conditions.
Zero-Stop and TwistGuard:
The mechanical zero stop allows a secure return to the zero position. The TwistGuard prevents accidental adjustments of the side adjustment and increases operational safety.
Optimised vision and high image quality:
The large field of view combined with high light transmission ensures a bright, high-contrast image with high detail sharpness – even in difficult lighting conditions. The 56 mm objective supports reliable target acquisition at long distances.
Robust and long-range construction:
With a 34 mm main tube, a length of approx. 377 mm and a weight of around 960 g, the K525i REFINED offers the necessary stability and reserves for demanding long-range setups.
Long-term reliability:
The riflescope is pressure-waterproof and fog-free and designed for continuous use under demanding conditions.
