6X Short Malcolm - BPCR Edition

Hello all and welcome back to the range!
For your consideration, we have the latest look far back into rifle telescopes, merging a few disparate ideas into one cohesive design. With this scope, we're combining:
The form and factor of a 6X Short (18") Malcolm scope,
Parallax adjustment,
Recoil sliding,
and Lyman-style clickless adjustments with turret rotation indicators.

Let's dive in:

00:00 Overview

This scope is, at its heart, a classic design from the late 1800s. Straight steel tube of 3/4" diameter, with brass accents.

The eyepiece can be rotated to set the reticle focus, and the general eyeglass prescription of the scope. The objective can be rotated to set the target/parallax focus. Target focus ranges from 10 yards to infinity.

The scope slides under recoil. Before each shot, the scope will need to be pulled back to 'battery' (the starting position). Recoil sliding does not affect the precision or aim of the scope.

Adjustments are external. When you turn a turret, you'll literally be pushing the scope to point in a slightly different direction. As odd as that might sound, it's not too far off from modern internally-adjusted scopes. Internal-adjustment scopes simply have an extra tube wrapped around the outside, while the turrets move the innermost tube and lens elements.

These turrets are built for competition, with a few features that'll be especially useful to the precision shooter. The turrets have rotation indicators on the stem. With this index, you can easily see how many rotations the turret has made - making large adjustments for distance quite a bit easier to count. The rear ring also has a tension adjustment screw in the upper right corner. Tension on the turrets can be adjusted from 0 to locked-in-place.

01:45 Shooting

It's time to send some lead down range.

The rifle for today is an 1885 High Wall in .45-70.
