For the folks that have owned them what are your opinions on these now discontinued scopes, I'm mainly thinking of the 3-9x42 model.
Optically the best 1" scopes ever made. I wish I had all of mine, i got rid of them when they were not importing them anymore. They will still work on them .
I had the AH 3-10x50, the KX 3-9x42 and the CL 3-10x50 .
Great scopes, IMO.
Here is their rimfire 2-7 on a Cooper .22LR Classic.
This is about as nice a combo as one could wish for, at least IMO.

Fantastic scopes; assuming AH think Z3 at a 30% discount on used market. The CL would be more comparable to Z5.
Beautiful scopes. I have had several.
I have two. Both are 3-9 x 42 TDS They work great.
Oldest scope manufacturer. Can’t go wrong now owned by Swarovski. Hasbeen
Have six of the 1" scopes and 5 of the 30 mm. They are great scopes and I picked them up when they stopped importing them. Can't beat them for the price... Last scope I will let go.
I have one the 3.5-10 x 50, its been back to the factory 3 times, first two I dropped the guns, they fixed it, last time to put a #4 in it. The last time they changed a lens or something and its not as sharp as it was in the past. When I adjust the power the power rings does not travel smoothly but this is since I dropped it the first time. It still holds zero. I bought it about 2003 I think.
I have an AH 3-9x50 on my .257 Roberts and it is a fine optic that holds zero. Wish I had a couple more. Happy Trails
I have one. It's pretty easy to turn,we still make a lever for it due to numerous requests, but I'd classify it as a much softer turn than the Razor Gen II. it has great glass and is pleasant to look through.
We can hook ya up with one with a lever and level at a great price.
had 3 x 9 on my Voere 06...great scope
I’ve had several(2-7x36 and a couple 3-9x42s). Wish I’d never have let them go. Now own a couple Swarovski 3-10x42s....they are nice as well but, personally, I think the Kahles is a more robustly built scope. I’ve had problems with the Swarovskis holding zero....Kahles never had this problem.

Have 5 AH's. Two 2-7x36's which may be the best 2-7 ever made imo. Three 3-9x42's, two with TDS reticles and one with a duplex. Excellent scopes.

That is the truth, I have never sent a Kahle in ever except for a fleck on the optical glass.
I hunted with a Kahles Helia CL 3x10x50 on a VZ24 I reballed to 7mmRM in 2011. It cost me $640.
I shot one mule buck and one antelope.
Great scope except for elevation turret is in mills. I am not used to that.
