Transforming The Standard Short Wm. Malcolm Scope Into A Precision BPCR Competition Scope


Note:  The standard mounts that come on the short 3x and 6x vintage style Wm. Malcolm scopes, produced by Hi-Lux Optics, are copies of original mounts of late 1800's and early 1900's design.  They are extremely reliable, and relatively easy to adjust.  However, they are not designed for being quickly adjusted back and forth during black powder cartridge rifle long range shooting or competition.  The mounts have been built to be sighted and locked (using a friction ring) into place - for hunting or close range (<100 yards) target shooting and plinking.

One solution to installing more adjustable and more precise target mounts is to purchase the precision micrometer click style mounts built for the external adjustment Wm. Malcolm 8x USMC Sniper scope.

Here is a look at how one shooters made that change out...
