Why does quality glass cost $$$?

This is why. Cross section of a Kahles (k624i, I believe)



Your cheaper crap (sub $750 or so) uses plastic. And people wonder why they don't track properly

That is awesome. Pics say a thousand words for dependable on that one. Never seen it laid out like that.

I know nothing about scopes. What exactly am I looking at and what does it do?

Cross section through the erector tube and turrets. It's the internals. Cut with one of those fancy, high powered water jets. Elevation on top, wind age on the left, and parallax and illumination turret on the left.

The screws are holding on a sheet of plexiglas over everything so as to keep everything inside.

I hadn't either. Kahles had a rep out here. They also have a horizontal cross section as well. I'll get a pic of it tomorrow

That’s crazy bad ass bro !! You don’t think that kind of thought goes into the build at that price range YOU ARE WRONG !! I like sfp or ffp if the glass is accurate and on point with compensating. I like the NX8 by NF and Kahles is pushing the bar with LVOP scopes.

I'll not afraid to admit when I don't know something and ask questions. I'm not one of those internet know-it-alls.

Thanks. That's pretty cool. I've never seen anything like that before. Now that I know what I'm looking at and can see how it works that is pretty neat.

@Laufen needs to chop an NF in half for us now...

I was wrong. K5, not 624i

Yeah, I was about to say, that doesn't look like a 624i.

Is that better @Red Dawn?

Is that better @Red Dawn?

Work in progress there’s hope

@The Mechanic what is your take on this scope?

Is it worth the price tag? What is your “go to” scope?

I have a lot of rifles and optics but I could see when I started down this road I might have been better off going for one high end rig. I never considered really high end optics but for all the mid range stuff I've got it doesn't take a lot of math to figure out I could have got one or two premiere setups. I mounted and zeroed an IOR Valdada 6x for one of my brothers and it was clearly better than anything I've got.
