Thread: Kahles LRF binoculars

A few reasons. Optically brilliant . I think I paid around $3600 for them in 2009 . Quality does not date . They have found me deer when I have seen nothing on the first few sweeps . I think what has changed in 13 years is technology . With the rangefinder in them the longest i ever got was around 1300yds in the right conditions. The size and weight of them- Big and bulky . I had some swaro's on order but did a deal the other day that included the Leica's . I cant be without bino's so had a nosey around at options. Years ago I had a pair of Kahles 10x42 which I traded on the new Leica's at the time. The glass was brilliant. Since swarovski brought out Kahles years ago and looking at bang for buck it was an easy decision . They showed up this morning after ordering on Monday. First impressions are I cant believe how light and small they are . Put a highlighter on my desk for reference.

Was outside first thing this morning in the low light playing around . First impressions are just as good for a whole lot less.
