Re: Hi-Lux Scopes
Griff, there's some good info on this posting of mine (asked the same question) from the ASSRA site: Any Reviews of the Hi-Lux "Short" Malcolm 6X Scope (click for link) The consensus is the scopes are OK, but the mounts need an upgrade -- I went for a used Unertl instead. Be sure to go to ...

I haven't tried that, but once when we had a 22 LR Match at 100 and 200 yards * I did separate them by rim thickness. That was a chore -- never to be repeated! * That to...
