A problem many shooters have is finding the target once they are looking through the scope. A wide field of view makes it much easier to acquire the target faster. This K18i shows an image 127 feet wide at the 1x magnification at 100 meters. Compare that with some other scope manufacturers who show between 90 and 116 feet at 1x. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Kahles's Increases Zoom, Brightness, &amp; FOV In The K18i Scope - SHOT Show 2020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-6-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Kahles's Increases Zoom, Brightness, &amp; FOV In The K18i Scope - SHOT Show 2020\" class=\"wp-image-123503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-6-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-6-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-6-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-6-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-6.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A new feature is swappable throw levers for longer or shorter profiles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New features included swappable throw levers (long and short) and a new enhanced brightness setting for bright daylight shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Kahles's Increases Zoom, Brightness, &amp; FOV In The K18i Scope - SHOT Show 2020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-5-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Kahles's Increases Zoom, Brightness, &amp; FOV In The K18i Scope - SHOT Show 2020\" class=\"wp-image-123502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-5-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-5-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The reticle has two illuminated points, one for zero and one for a holdover.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reticle has dual illuminated dots, one for your zero and one for a 300- to 400-yard holdover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Kahles's Increases Zoom, Brightness, &amp; FOV In The K18i Scope - SHOT Show 2020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Kahles's Increases Zoom, Brightness, &amp; FOV In The K18i Scope - SHOT Show 2020\" class=\"wp-image-123500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-3-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-3-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Kahles-K18i-Levi-Sim-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The brightness dial now has an Enhanced Brightness setting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These scopes are made tough.
