I ordered a Leatherwood Malcolm 6X scope from SWFA and it arrived today. Mounted it up in the Sharps rifle.











Relatively easy to install. Mounts seem quite ridgid. Testing tomorrow!

Well, I got to the range this AM......Although the optics are clear, the adjustments are near impossible. Especially elevation. Very difficult to move the scope up .0001"......I ordered the Fine Elevation Adjuster and sent an email to Leatherwood telling them that this scope should include this piece. It is nearly unusable without it.

I'm going to take it all apart and stone everything so it moves smoothly.

On the plus side, it held zero very well and has great eye relief. The optics are excellent.

More reports later......
