Malcolm telescopic 6x review in 2018 - Hi-Lux Optics Wm. Malcolm 6x17mm Rifle Scopes, 3/4in Tube

Great looking scope but wish the finish was better quality. The bluing is very thin so will not hold up to scrapes. My scope even had a small rust spot on it because the finish did not protect that area. Perhaps this finish makes the scope look more like a "period" telescopic sight. So be sure to give it a silicone rag rubbing or even better apply several coats of Renaissance Wax. This wax is used by museums to protect metal and wood relics. I use it on all of my firearms.

BTW the Tube Locking Collar (TLC) is included with the scope. A reviewer in 2008 said the TLC was not included with his scope. So perhaps Malcolm was motivated to include the TLC after reading his review.

I recommend adding the Leatherwood Hi-Lux William Malcolm Fine Elevation Adjustment. This makes elevation adjusting so much easier and also enhances the scope's appearance.
