Looks like Khales is throwing their hat in the mini red dot ring. The price is reasonable especially if it offers Kahles quality.

It says "Integrated Picatinny/Weaver Rail Mount", from that, my guess is that it's not aiming to be a pistol mounted optic and is instead geared towards riding piggyback atop a (Kahle's) scope.

Neat! More competition is always a good thing.

It looks like it's on their website and they're calling it the Helia, I can't tell what the mounting footprint would be

Looks like its designed for rifles.

For the first time, KAHLES is presenting a reflex sight for driven hunt – the new HELIA Red Dot (RD).

Helia is their traditional name for hunting optics. The mounting footprint is changeable to match MIL-STD-1913 rails as well as the several dovetails 11, 13, 15, and 19 mm common in European hunting rifles.

Their target market in Europe are guys who do driven hunts and often shoot game on the run at close to med distances. Using rifles.
