- Review of the Kahles k525i with SKMR3 reticle from a PRS perspective. There's a lot of reviewers who review stuff based on specs or even glass quality, but few who do reviews from a use case standpoint. Here's my take on the k525i.
- Sport
Useful video, thanks. Can’t believe you didn’t mention the left windage option..
Dude thanks for the video’s. If you have to run one uso or kahles. Witch would it be?
Intensely personal choice, but I prefer the USO with JVCR. After that, it depends on preference - if you prefer larger field of view, choose USO. If you prefer a forgiving eyebox/eye relief, choose kahles.
I prefer the field of view, so I've been maining with my USO and it's been working very well for me.
would you recommend it for hunting and some long range shooting just for fun (no competition and where the distance is known)
I don't hunt, so I won't bs at you there, but for basic long range, it's great, yes. If you can find it for a great price, I say go for it
@@rothgyr4360 thank you for your reply!

To the manufacturer the lure has to catch a fisherman. To the fisherman the lure has to catch the fish because it already caught him. So goes life. I don't shoot PRS or any center fire rifles (wish I had the time and money) but it seems that these guys really have to love the reticle or just settle for what they have that works well for them. (scope that they are used to/know well) I look at that stuff and wish I could get a nice scope for my 22's but they won't really make me shoot better. PRS= you need to see what you're shooting at 1,000yrs, many people would buy that scope off of you but if it works for you be about the game instead of the equipment, or sell it and get a new scope?
Where can I buy one for $3000?
Snipershide px. I've seen them for $2600ish from time to time
@rothgyr4360 Yup, that’s the way. I just purchased a like-new Kahles K525i w/ Left Side Windage and the SKMR4 reticle for $2100 on the SnipersHide PX. I cannot wait to get it; it will immediately be the highest-quality optic that I've ever owned. I wanted to get a K525i DLR for the 10 MIL turrets and the increased FOV, but I think I will be alright without those things for the money saved. This will be for a work gun, so I can use the money saved and start saving toward a DLR for a build I am putting together; I would like to start considering PRS and the NRL Hunter Series. You think I did well at the price for that? I figured I wouldn't lose money on it if I got it and wasn't what I was looking for in the reticle or CA control. Thanks man!

That's a fantastic price. Yes the k525i has a smaller fov compared with other $3k scopes, but it's nowhere near as bad as a mk5 or xrs3. It should smoke anything in the $2k price point unless you can find a razor 3, but even then, I like the kahles turrets and parallax/lsw more
@@rothgyr4360 Great! Thanks so much. Yep, I really liked the overall features of the Kahles line with the parallax adjustment location and the left-side windage adjustment. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to find a compatible mount that would allow me to see my turrets clearly, while also allowing clearance for the parallax adjustment spinner. I understand the Spuhr mounts work, but the kicker was if I wanted to mount a diving board for a weapon-mounted LRF on the front ring and not have the spinner hit it. I couldn't find hardly any information on, but located a like new Spuhr SP-4003b mount with the extended erector spacing; I think that will allow room for the spinner and a front diving board. Do you have any experience with a setup like this?
