My friend shoots one on his M1903 for Camp Perry. It seemed to work quite well.

I have one on my M70, I shoot the rifle all the time. The optics are very good. The mounts are shit.

I have one too. It was a first generation. The threads were shit on the tube and stripped out. I sent it to Iron Sight Inc. and they were unable to fix it so they replaced EVERYTHING except the rear mount.

I'm told the second generation models are a lot better all the way around.

Here's mine. With 5 rds of the first load I tried after zeroing in with HXP surplus. 168gn/4064.

Looks like the Gen 2 is the same scope - but with the much improved 'competition' turrets that they had on their website for $250 or $275:

Malcolm 8X Vintage Sniper Competition Mount

You've asked, and we've delivered! Specially designed for Vintage Sniper Competition, the new Malcolm micrometer mounts give you precise adjustment clicks to clean targets at 600 yards. The Malcolm Vintage Sniper Competition mounts eliminate virtually all backlash between clicks. Compatible...

I think it's great that they took feedback from CMP competitor's and made this Gen 2 scope. I'll update the rear mount for my Gen 1 scope if they get more of these mounts back in stock...(My buddy and I replaced the various screws on the mount years ago with properly heat treated screws).

The Gen 2 mounts are available again. I've ordered a set but haven't (of course) seen them yet

I ordered the Gen 2 mounts Tuesday and they got here yesterday! Wow that was quick. I only have had time to look at them briefly but the clicks DO appear to be much more positive than the old ones

Our sport is going to die if we cant get shooters younger than their rifles.

Amen to that. I look around and there aren't many young guys at all.

In several of the disciplines I shoot I'm one of the younger guys at the matches I go to and I'll be 60 next spring

Pay close attention to the set screws on the turrets. My elevation turret shot lose several times over the course of a 3x600 and when I reached up to adjust the damn cap just spun. I ended up putting channel locks on it and tightening it to the point the groove chipped to finish the match. Before I go out next time I’ll blue or green loctite it. Hopefully yours holds better.

Overall, I like the scope but I really wish I could run my Lyman or Unertl. (15 and 16x, no bueno)
