Further Information

The latest edition of the 6X Short Malcolm scope is a studious, well-mannered look back at the era of rifle telescopes, around the years 1865-1880. Built around an old design and using the latest materials, this scope is built to help you reach out and touch something.

We are checking our DOPE out to 600 yards with the Winchester High Wall in .45-70 and our Malcolm 6X Two Tone Rifle Telescope. For those interested, we were shooting a 405 gr .45-70 caliber bullet at around 1330FPS.

Have you ever taken something apart and forgotten how to put it back together?

Well, we did one worse. We lost some parts in the process...

We were at the 2018 SHOT Show and we brought our Uberti Winchester 1885 High Wall as a display rifle. Due to show rules, we had to pull out the firing pin.

Fast forward 2 years, we've decided that we wanted to shoot this rifle again. Fortunately, we've found the exploded diagram for the Uberti High Wall.

Heavy Recoil? If you are shooting the Malcolm Short Rifle Telescopes on a big caliber such as 45-90 or 45-110, we would recommend using the sliding lock ring.

It is critical to properly set the locking nut within the crescent groove of the standard bases. Although, the Malcolm 8X scope mounts have been calibrated at the factory to properly fasten to the provided crescent cut bases, you may need to adjust the friction screws in the mount. In this video, we’ll be going over how and when you should adjust the friction screws within the Malcolm 8X USMC mounts.

The Malcolm 8X USMC scope comes with Lyman style micrometer rear mount and front ring. In this video, we’ll be going over what you need to periodically check to ensure that the mounts work properly.

There are certain scenarios when you would need to remove the scope body from the externally adjusting mounts. Such as adjusting the friction screw on the mounts, or removing the return spring.
