Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors 22hp with Malcolm 3x

Joe, I finally got some more pictures, starting with the 3/4" with manually adjusted center mounts that attach to the barrel, the front is in a screw on dovetail piece but I think it could be put right in a dovetail in the barrel. The rear mount could be attached to a bracket for an 1899, they're all just held on with a single large screw and can pivot.

Manual adjusted mounts -




3/4" center mount, micrometer adjust -





Joe, the front mount is later than yours but should be similar, just that it has slotted adjusting screws instead of thumb screws.

5/8" side mount, micrometer adjusted -







The tapered hole in the top of the rear mount is for a lathe center, for tuning the elevation shaft, that shows how far the ring is off center for an 1899. If you see a side mount with that tapered hole near the center of the ring it will not work on an 1899 with a front mount with the usual offset, I think all front mounts might be the same offset.

Thanks for all the pics Gene. Now i need to find the scope caps.

I found another set of mounts that were on a Litschert target scope with a rib, I'm not sure these are original Malcolm or a copy. The front was made special for a ribbed scope and is not a modification. I do not know what they would fit, the rear is made with a step to mount on a receiver with the ring sitting forward and lower.



I had been asked a question about how a front mount worked, here is a set of assembly pictures. The split under the front mounting screw is to allow it to be used to lock the adjustment and it need to be loosened before adjusting.
