Kahles K16i – 1-6×24 Abs. SI-1

Though I announced, that I´ll get a Helia5 from Kahles, I got now a K16i! Actually, the K16i should only be available for public authorities in Germany. But the great success in the 3-Gun market of the US brought Kahles to the decision to make the scope also available to the public in Germany. Good decision!

But first, before I describe my subjective opinion about the scope – the hard facts:

  • Field of view (ft/100yds) 127-20,1
  • Exit pupil (inch) 0,374-0,157
  • Eye relief (inch) 3,74
  • Dioptric compensation (dpt) 2/-3,5
  • Twilight factor (DIN 58388) 3,1-12
  • Impact pt. Corr. Per click (inch/100yds) 0,54
  •  Elevation/Windage Adj. Range (m/100m) 2,2
  • Tube diameter (inch) 1,18
  • Lenght (inch) 10,9
  • Weight (oz) 16,9
  • Objective filter thread M27x0,75
  • integrated “Cat-Tail”
  • daylight bright reticle in second focal plane
  • zeroable indexation
  • reticle: SI-1

TopWheelgunnerTrophy – S&W Cup 2012

On October, 14th, there´ve been the second Smith-and-Wesson Cup in the”Oase für den Schützen” in Edingen Neckarhausen. Organized and designt by some experienced and successful Revolver shooters a match with fun guaranteed! Also this year, there´ve been some tricky and interesting Stages. Stake, Electro-Mobil etc. gave fun to the shooters. Unfortunately, I had not a good day and had been slow and unconcentrated. Some mikes and I became “only” second in Standard Revolver. Who cares. We had fun and this is important!

German Steel Masters 2012

This has been a successful Sunday! I´ve shot the German Steel Masters 2012 today. 8 Stages of Steel – Great! I started in Revolver Open and Standard. My first run was with the Open Revolver. Beside minor dificulties with the small plates on Pendulum, it went very well for me and I could manage to become second behind Mario (who else…) and before Markus – we had a very, very tight race for the second – I was lucky by 0.01 sec!!

Also with the Standard, I did well. Drawing from surrender position gets better and better. I have to practice to even more! Had some very nice runs at Smoke and Hope. Better that my Open runs! Finally, I fisnished first with the Standard! Yeah!
