    Hello
    I have recently required a hunting rifle with
    A interesting rimfire scope attached
    It’s quite large, and has :
    Kkahles
    Wein
    “Helia 8 L2 “
    No. 37475
    Made in austria
    No other information is on the scope, just wondering if anyone
    Knew anything about the make or where I could
    Find more information, ie magnification etc etc

    Old School Kahles optic. There was a time where Kahles were the premier optic sight, made in Austria and if in working order will serve you well. Heavy and overbuilt by today's standards but should have nice clear optics. My guess (nothing more) is 60s manufacture. The 8x56 was the gold standard here for spotlighting foxes when that was a BIG $ enterprise.
