hi all, i am looking for an era correct scope to mount on an old hi-wall. it does not have to be authentic, just for looks. i had one of the long brass ones in mind. can any one point me in the right direction to find one? thanks in advance.

    The name is 'Malcolm Scope'. Leatherwood sells reproductions. The folks who make the scope also have firearms' specific mounts. Good luck! Joe

    If your high wall hasn't already been drilled and tapped for target blocks, it would be a shame to do it now. If that is the case, you can get an excellent repro tang sight from Jeff's Outfitters which is a viable solution for old eyes like mine, and occupies original holes.

    The Malcolm mounts are made to fit in the front and rear sight dovetails, no drilling and tapping. Get the heavier mounts for the bigger calibers.
