Thread: Kahles LRF binoculars

Hi Has anyone had any experience with these ? Ive had Kahles glass in the past and optically they are excellent . These seem like good value at $2600 ? Thoughts ?

Guess I’m the Guinea pig then

I'm pretty sure if you do some digging you will find these are not the nice euro glass you would expect them to be and are actually more of a "made under license" Chinese product

In saying that, the Vortex Fury's are much the same and they're noticeably better than any geovid I've looked through...

Ive had a look through my mates pair and they were decent. I prefer my geovids but ive used them for a while now and you like what you know, right? Also had a look recently through the new sig 10k. I wasnt much of a fan of glass quality, it seemed they had a bit of a 'blue' hue/ tinge to the picture. Other than that the electronics works incredibly well.

As above id look at the vortex fury with the AB

They are on the way. We will see

I have the 3000bdx and getting the 10k set soon.
The ability of the sig to pair with my kestrel makes up for glass shortfall If any.
Also the price.
The ability for the new 10k to drop a pin to navigate to where you ranged and shot, priceless!
My 3000bdx will range out to 4.5k which is an industry leader.

Apparently made in Japan are the binoculars. I will put up a review when I use them. I’m coming off 12 years of Leica geovids so we will see.

Are you sure that the drop pin feature is going to work with our local Garmin or app stuff?
Is it not only for the USA basemap stuff or what ever It is that they use over there?

These are supposed to do 4500m as well. Buggered if I know what good that is to me though.

Pretty good for ranging tanks in ukraine I guess… or staying out of their range.

Keen to hear how you rate them, I was tempted by them a few days ago.

I assumed/hope the sig 10ks provide a grid reference. It would be disappointing if u have to sync to other apps to use the navigation features.

I give another vote to the 3000bdx if you don’t get the khales.

Those Vortexs with AB are backordered for 12+ months according to vortex USA when i asked last month.
