changed from a 1.75x5 to 1x4... and picked up a little eye relief, as i had a too short stock, and got scope cut twice in a week

Sam,

I like the sounds of your Khales, how much cheaper than a swarvo is it ??

PC,

I'm sorry, but I don't recall the difference. I want to say that it was about $400 or more at the time.

I picked the Kahles due to the lower power and a little more eye relief than the Swarovski.

I got mine from D&R Sports Center since my local guys couldn't get them at the time. They don't list the prices in their catalog but will gladly give you a quote.

D&R Sports Center:
MKOMOROSKI@AOL.COM or
(570) 735-1752

Kahles # KAH51601
Swarovski # SWR 57003

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Sam

I have a 3X9 Ziess Conquest on my .416 Remington and Rigby. They are a pleasure to shoot, the Remington will get an African test this year. Good shooting.
