a friend of mine has a 3x9 kahles scope and when he brought it out to the range and i compared it side by side to my 3x9 vx-ii leupold it seemd to have better optics. i doubt you would be dissapointed if you bought one. i suspect one of the reasons you don' t hear all that much about them is that in the north american market most people buy american names and the odd asian one. european scopes are almost always more expensive and if i may say so usually better quality then american or asian products.

cheers
