R3IV's Review of Hi-Lux Optics Malcolm Gen II 8x31mm Rifle Scope, Vintage Sniper Legal, 3/4in Tube
The Gen II is what we've waited for for YEARS!!!
-The rings are head and shoulders above the the old ones. They are the 1st style unertl rings with the sliding key, not the later micrometer style. They can be re-indexed to zero! Comparable in quality to my DZ and Steve Earle Rigngs!
-The dovetail mounts are machined (old ones looked like they were cast in a rubber mold)
-The QC on all threads is Much tighter/better!
(read my GenI review for the general virtues of the glass&reticle)
The guys who seriously used the GenI scopes paid >$400 to buy all the things that now come included with the scope.
This is the way it should have been all along!
The only gripe: If you install the spring, the front brass spring retainer ring is .030" TOO Large in diameter and collides with the front scope ring. Nothing a little lathe work wont fix, but be aware.
