2.5x WWII Sniper Scope Is A New Addition To The Hi-Lux Optics "Wm. Malcolm" Line...

Available Now! 

When the United States entered World War II, the country was not prepared to arm as many soldiers as needed with the latest U.S. military rifle - the semi-automatic M1 Garand.  Hundreds of thousands of WW I vintage Springfield Model 1903 rifles were pulled out of storage and sent back into war.  Using original tooling for building these rifles, both Remington and Smith-Corona also began producing what became designated the M1903A3.  To fulfill the need for sniper rifles, in 1942 the U.S. Army adopted the M1903A4 as the first standardized U.S. sniper rifle.  This version of the Remington M1903A3 came without a rear or front sight, and had been fitted with a 3/4-inch diameter Weaver 330C 2.5x riflescope, designated the M73B1, attached with a one-piece base and rings produced by Redfield.  In all, 29,964 of these rifles were produced.

Hi-Lux Optics is now adding a new-made version of this scope - which has been totally re-engineered from the inside out to produce a scope that is far superior to the orignals.  While it is being introduced primarily for those wanting to shoot a fairly authentic looking and shooting M1903A4 in Vintage Sniper Rifle competition, this newest addition to the Wm. Malcolm line would also look right at home on older hunting rifles, like the Savage Model 99 and Winchester Model 75 Sporter.  The scope features a 3.54" eye relief, and the 2.5x magnification is ideal for those under 100-yard shots at deer in the woods...or at a bushytail gnawing away at a hickory nut on a limb 15 to 20 yards above.

What truly sets this scope apart from the originals is the quality of the optics.  This is the brightest and clearest scope of its kind ever produced.  Watch the Hi-Lux Optics website for its availability.

The 3-9x40mm hunting scopes have traditionally been the best selling scopes on the market.  And the Hi-Lux Optics "Buck Country" scope in that magnification range is one of the very best moderate priced scopes available today.  This scope is built with features, such as fully multi-coated lenses...and Tri-Center coil spring tension on the internal errector, which make it comparable to scopes costing $300...$400...or more.  However, this great all around hunting scope, which is just at home on a center-fire rifle...or modern in-line ignition muzzleloader...or a shotgun loaded with slugs carries a suggested retail price of just $139. 

If you are looking for all the value you can find in a quality basic hunting scope...this is the scope you've been seeking - for more information go to the Hi-Lux Optics website at www.hi-luxoptics.com .

Guns America Checks Out The Wm. Malcolm 8X USMC-SNIPER

They found the scope to be of exceptional quality and very precise.

First Experiences With The Wm. Malcolm 8x USMC Sniper Scope

A couple of months back, I received my 8x USMC Sniper model scope...even before I had a rifle to put it on.  Fortunately, I have a father-in-law with close to 500 guns...many of them with the blocks for this style scope already mounted on them.  Among that wealth of firearms are seven Winchester Model 52 .22 caliber target rifles.  So, I borrowed one to check out the new scope. 

When I picked out the rifle I wanted to shoot with the new scope, ironically it already had an 8x Unertl of the same type mounted on it.  Sticking the new-made Hi-Lux Optics scope on the rifle took all of 60 seconds...maybe.  The handy thing about visiting these in-laws is that there's a range on the property...and within 20 minutes of mounting the scope on the excellent condition Model 52...shooting plain ol' Winchester Super-X .22 Long Rifle cartridges, I had the scope sighted in to hit "dead on" at 50 yards...and my first 50-yard group with the rifle & scope combo printed inside the "X" ring and could have been covered with a quarter.

Sad thing is...it's time to return the rifle.  So...I'll see what else I can borrow.  Hmmm...maybe his .22-250 Wickliffe single-shot varmint rifle...or perhaps one of his heavy barreled .308 Winchester target rifles...or.......

225-Yard Shot With The Hi-Lux Optics TB-ML Muzzleloader Hunting Scope!

Last November (2011) I put in a lot of time looking for a decent buck, most of it without spotting any horns at all. An end of the season muzzleloader hunt for either mule deer or whitetails, took me into the Missouri Breaks country of central Montana. The first three days, I concentrated on mule deer, and spotted several true "Monster Bucks", but could not manage to get within range. On Thanksgiving morning, I switched to river bottom whitetails in order to put some meat in the freezer - and took this decent 5x5 with one well-placed shot at about 225 yards. The TB-ML scope helped put that shot exactly where it needed to go! To read an article on the hunt, go to - http://www.namlhunt.com/mlhunt.html
