i know this was a great scope 15-20 years ago, how does it compare to the scopes of today? I have a Kahles 3-10x50 CL and it is a great scope. A friend has the Helia L 3-12x56, how does it compare to Zeiss 3-12x56 or other scopes today? Thinking about buying it.
Thanks!

I have a Kahles Helia C 3-12 x 56 mm mounted up on my Sendero and it is one of my favorite scopes that I own.

If the L is anywhere close to the C it ought to be a good scope.

Kahles has great customer ser. I have had a 3x12x56 since 1980 and sent it back one time to be resealed at no charge. I liked the fact that if you call, you get to talk to the tech that is doing the work. This has been my experience.

I think I could get it for 4-450. I have a Zeiss HD5 5-25x50 and a swaro z5 5-25x52, so I don't really need it, but just remember always wanting one as a kid when a guy in our hunting club had and still has one. Might see if he will let me borrow it for an afternoon hunt and compare it with one of the others. Thanks for the replies!
