Sight in the rifle scope (on the shooting range) to your specific distance and desired point of impact by turning the elevation and windage adjustments to move the bullet impact to your desired point of impact. The direction of bullet impact is engraved on each adjustment.
Once you have established the preferred point of impact on the target you will need to zero the elevation and windage adjustments.
Expert mounting is required to ensure optimum performance.
6.1 Zeroing the elevation and windage dial for K15i and K16i
If the point of impact of the bullet deviates from the aiming point, this can be easily and precisely corrected by adjusting the elevation and the windage turret of the rifle scope. To make adjustments, simply unscrew the screw-on caps of the elevation and windage turrets.
The aim point correction per click can be taken from the information engraved on the elevation or windage adjustment turret of your rifle scope.
Pay attention, never use any strong force when you do any adjustments on the turrets.
6.1a Zero Point adjustment
Once you have aligned the scope to the rifle, you can retain this basic setting. The scale for this is located on the index disc of the elevation/windage adjustment turret.
- Hold the turret with your fingers
- Use a coin or an empty cartridge case and turn the locking screw (1) in counter clockwise direction
- Loosen the locking screw till you get a free moving index disc (3)
- Turn the index disc/ring (3) until the zero point of the scale is aligned with the index point on the scope
- Hold the index disc/ring (3) and the turret disc (2) turn the locking screw clock wise in right direction. While performing this process you should hear no mechanical click. Your adjustment is now zeroed to your point of impact.
- Your adjustment is now zeroed to your point of impact.

6.2 Zeroing the elevation dial for K312II, K312i and K624i
Using the supplied allen key, loosen the two set screws on the turret 1– 3 turns (do not remove the set screws completely) until you have a free moving turret without clicks. With the set screws loosened turn the elevation turret in the down direction (the direction of bullet impact is engraved on the adjustment) until it stops. This will be 3 or 4 marks below the zero mark on the dial. Turn the turret so that the zero on the dial lines up with the indicator mark on the body tube. Align the marks and using the short end of the supplied allen key tighten again the two set screws to approximately 1Nm or 8 inch pounds (do not exceed 1Nm or 8 inch pounds).
Your elevation is now zeroed.
The mechanical (physical) stop will be about 3 or 4 clicks below zero. This allows adjustments slightly below zero for special conditions as increased temperature or closer targets.
Pay attention, never use any strong force when you do any adjustments on the turrets.
6.2a Zeroing the windage dial for K312II, K312i and K624i
With the rifle and scope sighted in to the desired point of impact loosen the two set screws on the windage adjustment dial 1– 3 turns (do not remove the set screws completely) and move the dial to align the zero mark to the indicator mark on the body tube. Using the short end of the supplied allen key, tight the two set screws to approximately 1Nm or 8 inch pounds (do not exceed 1Nm or 8 inch pounds). Your windage is now zeroed.
Pay attention, never use any strong force when you do any adjustments on the turrets.
6.2b Reset to factory conditions (full elevation) for K312II, K312i and K624i

If the point of impact of the bullet deviates from the aiming point, this can be easily and precisely corrected by adjusting the elevation and the windage turret. To make corrections, simply use the adjustment screw of the elevation or windage turret and turn the adjustment dial in the appropriate direction (up/down or left/right) as indicated by the displayed markings on the turrets.
Pay attention, never use any strong force when you do any adjustments on the turrets.
8. Rotation Indicator Pin
Double turn turret There are two rows of numbers (X) on the elevation adjustment. If the indicator pin (7) is flush to the top of the adjustment you are using the bottom row of numbers (first rotation). If the indicator pin is raised up, you are using the upper row of numbers (second rotation).
Tripple turn turret
There are three rows of numbers (X) on the elevation adjustment. If the indicator pin (7) is flush to the top of the adjustment you are using the bottom row of numbers (first rotation). If the indicator pin is raised up about 1mm (red), you are using the middle row of numbers (second rotation). If the indicator pin is raised up about 2mm off the housing (white and red), the highest row of numbers (third rotation) is in use.
9. Illumination
Most KAHLES rifle scopes are equipped with illuminated reticles. To switch on the reticle illumination turn the illumination switch towards clockwise direction. The illumination intensity will get brighter or lower by turning the adjustment switch greater or lesser. The adjustment can be turned in direction to the off point or to the desired intensity setting. The illumination is switched off when the indicator on the illumination adjustments allied with the off marking on the tube. All of our K-models have the automaticoff function of the reticle illumination integrated. If there will be no brightness adjustment over a period of about 2 hours, the reticle illumination automatically switches off. To restart the reticle illumination after the automatic-off is activated, you have to switch it completely off and on again. In any case to prevent depletion of the battery, turn off the reticle illumination when not in use.
10. Replacing the Battery
The battery is stored in the illumination adjustment.
To change the battery:
1. Turn off the reticle illumi – nation.
2. Hold the illumination adjustment from turning
3. Use a coin that fits the slot and turn counter clockwise until the cover is unscrewed
4. Change the battery (CR2032) positive + side facing out
5. Reinstall the battery cover securely
Attention! Use only type CR 2032 batteries.
Some KAHLES K models contain inside the windage turret cap one spare battery.
