For three days the track stayed in front of us, and the African sun only grew hotter, like the flat of some vast pressing hand. Dust and the ash of the burnt savannah choked my throat. Thorns bit my skin and the flies droned without end. When another step did not seem possible, Ahmad, the tracker, sank to his knees, pointing with his chin. I crawled to his side. In the shadow of the long grass a great maned head lifted from sleep. Amber eyes looked into me and a low growl sounded. Time stopped. Even the flies went silent …

The moment of truth for the experienced hunter … and for superior Austrian optics. With wide angle oculars for quick acquisition creating an unbeaten wide field-of-view which is brilliant, crisp and distortion free to the very edge. Leading European 30mm scopes with safe eye relief and a maximum in comfort and safety.

Professional optics, carefully designed and built where true “Old World” tradition meets 21st century technology. For hunting success in those magic moments that we are living for.

REFERENCE CLASS. OVER GENERATIONS.

HELIA. Over generations the leading name for extremely precise, optically bright and at the same time legendary rugged hunting scopes from Austria.

Also the name standing synonym for spectacular milestones in riflescope technology: The first waterproof riflescope — a KAHLES HELIA. Also, in 1972, the first fully multi-coated riflescope — a HELIA with more than 90% light transmission. At that time a world record.

And today? Still KAHLES, world’s oldest riflescope manufacturer continues its legacy: With unmatched wide field-of-view and outstanding edge clarity. With complex objective construction with up to four lenses and wide ocular lenses all creating image qualities that are simply setting new standards.

Also fascinating, the uncompromised complexety and precision of the entire mechanical construction. Down to the smallest detail, the HELIA C scopes are built from finest materials. Designed to last for generations.
