GIven the options and quality of scopes on the market today vs when fixed powers were a thing 30 years ago.... Hail to the Naw!

Crazy like MTG.


I’d have thought the same thing until I bought a Karl Kahles 8x56 from somebody on here. Son said “you won’t be able to see anything real close up!”. Took it to our power line on the last club. Maybe 40 yards wide at most. Could focus on something almost at the bottom of the shooting house steps.

After last year I gave him that gun. I asked for the scope back and offered him his choice of others I had. “Nah, I’ll keep this one, thanks” was the response I got. Nothing to mess with on it. Tracks great and holds zero and low light is its specialty. I’d buy three more of them if I could find them.
