Visibly later than yesterday the moon rises from the dark sky. More or less just a thin crescent in the ice cold January night. Frozen and quiet — the borderless Taiga plains. After a long long wait a distant howling of wolves. The guide nods his head. Using his hands as a funnel he imitates the keen predator. The response comes swift and clear. Closer and closer the howling approaches our hide out.

I grasp my gun tighter to drive away the ice cold shiver.

It’s the weakest hunting light and the iciest cold — technology without compromises is sure to pay off now. Unsurpassed in light transmission, field-of-view and contrast. Unequalled in robustness and design the HELIA CBX is sovereign here in its strengths. The dimmable dot remains clear on even the darkest shadows, remaining in sharp and fine contrast to the body of the game. Rifle ready, body tense — the HELIA CBX leads to the ultimate goal with certainty.

THE SPECIALIST — RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF PHYSICS.

The last hunting light — the moment of truth for professional hunting optics. The test of true optics.

KAHLES, as the world’s oldest riflescope manufacturer, has always been the industry leader with state-of-the-art, innovative, light-effective riflescopes. And for good reason, hunting success in Austria is dependant upon the twilight performance of the riflescope.

KAHLES has led the pioneering efforts in riflescope development and design, especially in the advancements in brightness and contrast. This is expressed in numerous pioneering milestones from KAHLES. Such as the world’s first serial riflescope with multi-layer coatings — a HELIA with more than 90% light transmission, unprecedented at the time (1972).

But this continuous strive to push the laws of physics continues with all elements of KAHLES riflescopes. From the typically large entry pupils to the proprietary AMV coatings, KAHLES continues its pioneering efforts. In fact, KAHLES AMV coatings, which are, today, realizing a nearly lossfree transmission in the critical dusk-time spectral range between 500 and 540 nanometers, provide the user with a crisp clear image at all times. Unsurpassed wide field-of-view with excellent edge-to-edge clarity and outstanding image correction are also a recognized KAHLES’ standards today.

The CBX illumination is similarly recognized as the standard by which all other illumination is compared. The reticle is especially dimmable and scatter-free, providing a clear and fine contrast against the body of the game. The illuminated reticles on all HELIA CBX scopes increase in size as magnification is increased hereby providing a confident feel for the shooting distance. The noiseless, easy-to-operate, illumination turret is conveniently located on the left side of the riflescope. Fascinatingly constructed out of the highest quality materials and without any compromises, the HELIA CBX is built to endure for generations.
