Driven game scope.

[JPBlaser]

I got pissed off with the aimpoint micro so I sold it(picture quality and diode assembly reflection really,and I mean really pissed me off)... Since I've got some spare mounts... I decided I'll go driven game scope this time.
Basically I'm eyeing the kahles helia 1-5x24 illuminated. Does anyone use it? Has anyone tried it on a 9,3x62?
Any other suggestions?
At the moment I'm waiting on a quote for the price... If it`s on the right side I'll be getting a new kahles 1-5x24 scope as early as next week.

Best regards,

No idea Jordan but the leica magnus 1-6x24 has a great field of view. The several i looked through at the rsnge were awesome.

I've not used the Helia, but I do have and use the Kales K1-6X24 and it is superb. However, be warned, I really like the H1 Micro better than any scope for fast moving shots. So my preferences may be quite different from yours.

I've used a few scopes and a few red dots until now...
Ultradot 30mm 4moa - superb and on the cheap side(i still have it on my mauser m98 8x57is(this sight is responsible for a lot of game getting killed)). Docter sight 2 ,didn`t like it that much sold it in a hurry. Aimpoint 9000 - actually I like it much better than the Micro.Micro,the things that pissed me off were visible only when there was no game in the sight.. but anyway it`s gone now... so I'll need to figure out my next purchase.
I have used a couple of scopes for driven game too... had very good luck with one 1.5-6x42... I can`t recall missing even really close shots. I'm thinking that if I get a true 1 power scope with bright enough dot it would be very similar to a red dot experience.
Btw the kahles and the leica are pretty close in the field of view department,the price not so much. I have taken a few looks through the leica and I like it a lot.
Anyway,if I don`t like the scope I can always sell it and buy an aimpoint 9000sc(my favorite model)..

I use a Swaro Z6i 1.7-10x42 for everything I shoot and I’m very satisfied with it. Shot a 57 kg and 58 kg uberlaufer and a 21 kg frishling Franz Albrecht style from a “train” two weeks ago. And if I go night hunting I put my Dipol on it. Couldn’t be more satisfied with a scope. And since the Z8 is out, you can get them with discount.

I have to admit I'm biased but I firmly believe you can never go wrong with a Kahles.

I had a Kahles 1.1 - 4 x 24 with circle dot reticle on my Merkel 141 9.3 Xx 74R and have a Swarovski 1 - 4 x 24 with circle dot reticle on my R8 30/06. I have used both on driven hunts and think that power ratio is fine, given that long distance shots are not normally required on driven hunts.

No hunting experience with the Helia. I've looked through the 1-5x24 (more than several times) and the Z8i with the idea of getting one for my BB97 9,3x74R. Both are superb. The Kahles is impressive. Really impressive. I already own a spare Swaro rail mount, which will fit either scope... I haven't made a decision as yet.

The Helia 5 is real sweet.

[JPBlaser]

Ordered the Helia 1-5x24i 4-DH reticle,should be on the rifle by the end of the week,hopefully I'll be able to sight it in on Friday.

[mchughcb]

Look forward to seeing the setup.

[SPEEDY]

I like that scope.

Hope it works out for you. I'd be surprised if you don't become a fan.
