I see the MSR2 reticle, I am immediately interested. This has to be one of the most interesting releases from Shot Show 2024 for me. The new K328i series from Kahles has a massive 40% increase in the field of view compared to the K525i which is a big drawcard for many shooters.

There is a huge 36mm tube that houses the 8x optical system in the scope. The K328i model will add some competition to the big magnification end of town for the Zero Compromise, Schmidt & Bender and Tangent Theta.
Being a big fan of customisable turrets I am happy to see options for the windage to be on the left or right side still included. Like previous models the parallax adjustment is integrated in the elevation turret.
There is a second model in the series, the K328i DLR which differs from the K328i as it has a total of 100 clicks per revolution and larger turret lettering making it easier to use for competition use. Its available with the SKMR+ and SKMR4+ reticles, developed for competition shooting. These reticles combined with the exceptional field of view make this a very attractive optic. I am keen to get hands on with one to see how the eye relief and depth of field perform. If there is good glass and edge to edge clarity, they will be difficult to pass up for competition use.
