Kahles K540i 5-40x56i DLR

• Precision-Driven 8× Zoom Range: The Kahles K540i DLR delivers a versatile 5–40× magnification ideal for dynamic long-range (DLR) competitions and tactical applications, combining high power with rapid handling characteristics.
• Exceptional Field of View and Optical Quality: Featuring a 50 mm objective lens and premium Austrian optics, the K540i ensures razor-sharp image quality, excellent contrast, and a wide field of view across the entire magnification range.
• DLR-Tuned Elevation Turret: The DLR version includes a fast-operating 100-click single-turn elevation turret for intuitive use in time-sensitive scenarios. Elevation is clearly marked, with large, legible numbers for rapid adjustments and up to 45 mrad of elevation.
• First Focal Plane Reticle with Red Illumination: Equipped with the SKMR+, SKMR4+, or SKMR6+ reticles in the first focal plane. The illuminated center section is optimized for fast aiming and consistent holdovers at all zoom levels.
• Integrated Parallax Control & Twist Guard: Parallax adjustment is seamlessly integrated into the elevation turret, and the Twist Guard windage turret prevents accidental movement during competition use.

ABOUT THE K SERIES

The K-series from Kahles is built for the most demanding shooters—combining precision mechanics, elite-level optics, and intuitive controls. The K540i DLR takes the concept further, providing high magnification and speed-oriented turret design tailored for long-range competition scenarios.

ABOUT THE MODEL (KAHLES K540i 5–40×50 – DLR VERSION)

The DLR variant is optimized for dynamic long-range sports, where speed and intuitive handling are key. Its unique 100-click elevation turret provides 10 mrad per single revolution, allowing fast and precise adjustments with minimal turret movement. With a total of 45 mrad available in elevation, it supports long-range dialing while keeping the operation straightforward.

Like the standard version, this model includes integrated parallax adjustment in the elevation turret and the Twist Guard system on the windage turret. The compact turret layout simplifies operation and reduces the risk of errors in fast-paced environments.

DLR VS STANDARD VERSION

The Kahles K540i is available in two turret configurations—each designed for different priorities:

• DLR Version: Designed for dynamic long-range shooting, the DLR variant features a single-turn elevation turret with 100 clicks (10 mrad) per revolution, large visible digits for fast reading, and simplified handling. It offers 45 mrad total elevation travel, making it ideal for quick engagement and high-speed competition formats.
• Standard Version: Geared toward extreme long-range (ELR) and maximum dialing flexibility, the standard version features a double-turn turret with a mechanical revolution indicator and 50 mrad of total elevation adjustment, ideal for shooters prioritizing extended range and fine control.
