Kite Optics K4 1-4x24i HD

• True 1-4x versatility: The 1x low end supports fast target acquisition with both-eyes-open shooting, while 4x gives enough reach and detail for precise placement on small openings or longer shots.
• Wide field of view: With up to 38.00 m/100m, this riflescope shows more of the surroundings at low magnification, which helps when tracking moving game in dense cover or during driven hunts.
• Illuminated SFP reticle: The red illuminated reticle remains visually consistent across the zoom range, making the sight picture easy to read in changing light without altering the reticle’s apparent size.
• Compact 30 mm build: The 30 mm tube, 255.00 mm length, and 457.00 g weight keep the scope balanced on a hunting rifle while still providing solid internal adjustment and dependable handling in the field.
• Weather-ready construction: Nitrogen filling, waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction help the scope stay clear and reliable when moving between cold mornings, wet weather, and rough transport.

About the Kite Optics K4 Series

The Kite Optics K4 series is a hunting riflescope family in the company’s riflescope range, built for hunters who want a straightforward zoom range, dependable mechanics, and a compact format suited to practical field use. Manufactured in Japan, the K4 line focuses on proven construction rather than unnecessary complexity, which makes it a sensible fit for stalking, woodland hunting, and general-purpose sporting rifles.

Within the series, Kite Optics offers two current models, including the 1-4x24i HD and the 3-12x50i HD, covering both close-range and more traditional all-round hunting roles. Both use an illuminated 4A reticle in the second focal plane, a layout many hunters prefer because the reticle image stays visually familiar throughout the magnification range. The series also shares a 30 mm tube, gas-filled construction, IPX7 waterproofing, and a parallax-free setting at 100 m. Taken together, these features give the K4 family a clear identity: compact hunting optics with practical illumination, stable handling, and the kind of optical layout that works well in fast, real-world shooting situations.

About the Kite Optics K4 1-4x24i HD

The Kite Optics K4 1-4x24i HD is the close-range specialist of the K4 family, designed for driven hunts, woodland stalking, and any rifle setup where speed matters as much as precision. Its 1.00x to 4.00x magnification range makes it especially useful on rifles carried through thick cover or used on moving game. At 1x, the image feels natural and fast to acquire, while 4x gives extra confidence when the shot stretches a little farther or when a smaller target area needs more careful placement.

The scope combines that handling with a 24.00 mm objective lens, 91 % light transmission, and a fully multicoated optical system, helping maintain a bright, contrast-rich image in the low and mixed light conditions common at dawn, dusk, or under forest canopy. Its 38.00 to 9.50 m/100m field of view is particularly valuable at the low end, where seeing more of the scene helps the shooter stay aware of movement around the target.

The second focal plane reticle with red illumination is well suited to this role because it stays easy to see without becoming visually heavy as magnification changes. Capped turrets protect the settings from accidental movement during transport and hard use, which is often more important on a hunting riflescope than rapid external dialing. A fixed parallax setting at 100 m, 90.00 mm eye relief, and a fast focus eyepiece further support quick, uncomplicated shooting from awkward field positions.

About Kite Optics

Kite Optics is a Belgian family-owned company that has developed high-precision nature-observation optics since 1992. Headquartered in Jabbeke, Belgium, the company works across several optics categories, including binoculars, spotting scopes, riflescopes, and red-dot sights. This broad background is relevant to its hunting optics, because it reflects long experience in balancing image quality, mechanical reliability, and practical field ergonomics.

The brand is known for offering both stabilized and traditional optics, showing a product philosophy that combines conventional optical design with selective technical innovation where it serves a real purpose. In riflescopes, its hunting families include K6, K4, B6, and B6 LR, each aimed at different shooting styles and distances. That specialization gives Kite Optics a clear place in the sporting optics market: focused hunting and observation instruments built around practical use rather than oversized feature lists.
