HI LUX MALCOLM 20X TARGET SCOPE AND WINCHESTER 52C: VINTAGE LEGENDS

[Mr.Revolverguy]

Maybe I don't dream big enough but this is like a dream come true for me.

HI LUX MALCOLM 20X VTS​

Hi-Lux Optics is well know for their vintage scopes. They have also traversed into the modern scope market with their new line of hunting and tactical line of scopes. Though today I am so excited to be reviewing their Malcom20X Vintage Target Scope a reproduction after the Unertl. It is a 20-power fixed magnification scope, that mates perfectly on top of another legend my Winchester 52C.

BEAUTIFUL AND HIGHLY EFFECTIVE​

Though a reproduction of a vintage scope, the Malcolm 20X Vintage Target Scope is made with modern materials, processes and techniques. The lenses are precision ground to micron tolerances with a thin crosswire reticle and is multicoated. To have a 41MM objective this scope is bright and much sharper than I had expected. It is capable of parallax focusing down to 10 yards up to infinity. It sports an adjustable eye piece for focus of the crosswire and has about 2.5inches eye relief.

In the box with all of the nice packaging you will receive everything you need including Sniper Competition Mounts and the tools to mount the scope, which took me about 5 minutes to do. The overall length of the scope is 25-3/4″ and it weighs in at 32oz. If you are looking for a vintage optic that will keep you in the X Ring look no further than Hi-Lux.

How are the micrometer adjustments on the rings? The earlier HiLuxes were critisized for sloppy clicks.
I have been seriously thinking of getting one of these scopes for my M52 and just using the original rings.

My glass is still pretty good, but the optical quality of even cheap new scopes is definitely better.

If the new rings are GTG, Ive even been kicking aroung the idea of having my Henry single barrel machined for Unertl mounts and putting a Malcolm on it.

Man nice setup. The clicks are very firm I think they took the criticism to heart. Its almost a little bit of a knock honestly because they are so firm I think you have to drop this on the turrets to move them or do damage to them. There is just something about the unertl's. I have always loved them just never had the opportunity of owning one or affording one. I wish I knew how to get better view of the glass I'm hand holding a cell phone trying to get that view. That quick view of the glass down range with the old cell phone just doesn't do it justice.
