When we compare these two rifle scopes in sharpness, we see that almost all points go to the Nightforce. Kahles has won only in two comparisons, with the same result – 5 against 3 for Kahles. Nightforce has more than twice as many points as Kahles when we compare them optically at all magnifications. In the optical comparison between Nightforce and Kahles, we have a clear winner. Nightforce ATACR 5-25×56 F1 vs Kahles K624iĬentral sharpness – subjective impression at 6x, 14x and 24x magnification:Įdge sharpness – subjective impression at 6x, 14x and 24x magnification: Kahles, on the other hand, has the European style diopter setting ring in front of the ocular, which is non-lockable. But Nightforce solved this problem with a high-quality rotatable lens cover from Tenebraex, which is included in the box. This can be a little bit annoying, because of the lens cover – it is also turning.

Also here is a big difference, because to change the magnification on a Nightforce, you have to turn the entire ocular around. Since you have done this, then you can change the magnification. You have to adjust your diopter with turning the entire ocular, and then you secure your setting with a counter ring. The big difference between these two rifle scopes is the ocular, because the Nightforce has a different style of adjusting the diopter setting. Another benefit you get is the big elevation range, that’s why are both rifle scopes made in a 34 mm main tube. The main benefit you get with such big and heavy rifle scopes is the light gathering, what is really a lot with the big 56mm objective lens. On rifle scopes like these two, the size and weight mostly doesn’t even matter a lot, because they are normally mounted on heavy sniper rifles. Size and weight:īoth scopes are quite big and heavy, the Kahles is 15mm longer than the Nightfoce, but it is also for 116 grams lighter in weight. The reticle in both is in the first focal plane, and the clicks are 0.1 MIL, what makes them true tactical MIL/MIL rifle scopes. Both scopes have some unique features like the parallax wheel on the Kahles which is located under the elevation turret, and on the Nightforce the button style illumination with red and green illumination. Both rifle scopes are designed for use under tactical applications in harsh environment, and have to withstand even strong recoiling rifles like the. We have done another testing between two high-end tactical rifle scopes, now the US made Nightforce ATACR 5-25×56 F1 and the European Kahles K624i.
