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

Here's a great report on the Hi-Lux Optics "Wm. Malcolm 8x USMC-SNIPER" scope.

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

Vintage Style Wm. Malcolm Scope & .45-70 Winchester High Wall Prove To Be Strong Medicine For South Dakota Buffalo!

"Thanks for making this fine old product that adds much to the enjoyment of shooting."

Jim Joy
Columbia, MO


____________________________________________________________________________


Jim and three of his life long friends booked a buffalo hunt on the Triple U Ranch near Fort Pierre, South Dakota. It was their way of celebrating turning 65. He says it was great fun.

The other three all relied on lever-action .45-70 rifles. Jim had stumbled on the Browning .45-70 copy of a Winchester High Wall in the above photo at a gun show in his hometown of Columbia, MO - and he just knew it was the gun to use for taking his bufalo.

Jim shares, "The older I get...the more I like scopes...but didn't think a modern scope would be appropriate."

He bought the Leatherwood/Hi-Lux Optics 3x Wm. Malcolm scope from Midway USA, and took his buffalo at just 50 yards. Jim was shooting Buffalo Bore P+ ammo, with a 405-grain bullet. He found the bull in the scope as it ran past, placing the shot through the base of the skull. Jim...the scope...and the rifle were right on target - and the bull went down to a single shot.

He says, "When I show off my big buffalo, most will write back and ask about the rifle and scope. Just fun to look at."

The great thing about the short 3x and 6x Malcolm scopes is that they do indeed look right at home on a wide range of rifles that were produced from the late 1870s well into the 1940s. Hi-Lux Optics offers a variety of mounts that make it easier to install the scope on a number of very popular models dating from that period. The scopes do come with a set of standard base blocks, that with professional gunsmith drilling and tapping can also be mounted right on many round or octagonal barrels.

These 3/4-inch diameter steel tube scopes have not been built just to look right. They are precision sighting systems, built with modern multi-coated lenses that make them far brighter than the originals they copy. Each scope is nitrogen filled to prevent fogging, and comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

If you have a Model 1873/76 Winchester...a Remington Rolling Block...a fine old Stevens single shot...a Winchester Model 52 Target or Sporter Model...a rifle like Jim's...or any of dozens of other vintage rifle models and need optics to enjoy shooting it - THIS IS THE SCOPE FOR YOU.
