Re: Hi-lux m40 scope
As I understand, from what people with hands on experience have reported, the Unertl style scopes were very good optically.
The micrometer mounts, however, weren`t very well made.
Reports of loss of zero, mounts shooting loose, adjustments (clicks) not being uniform or repeatable were noted.
I`ve heard the same thing about the Malcolm style scopes, good optics but micrometer mounts not so good.
I would think that with the Redfield copy being a short, internal adjustment scope Hi-Lux might have better luck with getting a quality product out the door.
From the website it looks like the scope tube has Hi-Lux engraved on the side- I wouldn`t want one for that reason, kind of takes away from the overall look of the scope being an accurate reproduction.
Their Unertl copy is kind of a `sorta close copy of the real thing`, looks like the Redfield copy will be the same.
