packrattusnongratusKahles 2X ?
Anyone able to tell me about this K Kahles scope? It has a 26mm steel tube, P-CH reticle,good light transmission. On the top of the ocular tube it says HELIA-Super Then KKAHLES over Wein , then 2S2 Nr.78684 . I am mounting it on a 27XX serial numbered 46 Husky in 9.3X57. It gives an amber tint to the image and has the obvious Blue/purple of coated antireflection coatings on the lenses. I used it on the Savage99 .358 for a season and liked it. Any comments as to the time it was made and marketed, quality, etc. Thanks in advance. Packrattusnongratus
All I know is that it is a top German brand and it should last longer than you will. If not it should be worth repairing.
PS Um, Austria, but close enough.

packrattusnongratusThanks for the comment. I probably paid market price. As a tightwad it hurt but the quality is obvious as I look at it. It is a chore to get it on my 46 Husqvarna though. The rings are scarce here to fit it to a Weaver base. I need to find medium height Weaver rings or maybe Leupold will make a pair of QDW rings for me. Thanks Packrattusnongratus

Savage99I wanted higher 26 mm rings for Weaver bases also and found that the Burris Signature Zee rings with the plastic inserts will close over a 26mm tube easily and close plenty far enough as well.
Now even the "low" Signatures are "high" so I hope something like this will work.
You might also just call some old gunsmiths and see if they have a set of higher Weaver 26mm rings.
Anything for a fellow .358 Win afficiando.

packrattusnongratusAre the Burris Signatures a Weaver style ring? I don't remember. Thanks Packrattusnongratus

Savage99The ones that are called "Zee" are Weaver.
