Vintage Rifle and Optics Challenge/Giveaway

This October 1st thru December 1st 2025 Hi-Lux Optics and Dayattherange is thrilled to offer up a chance to win a Vintage optic. Shoot as many cards as you would like but only your best score will be entered into drawing.

Rules Of Engagement

This card features four .85-size targets. To make the challenge even more exciting and competitive, we will take the top 10 lowest averages and randomly select one winner from that group. One target for spotters and three for official score. Shoot as many cards as you would like but only your best score will be entered into drawing. Please see the video for the rules.

Update To The Rules

It was brought to my attention that I am not really using a vintage scope with the Malcolm 20X it has modern glass and that’s absolutely fair. So we are going to open this up to vintage rifles and any scope as long as it is set to 20 power or less. We also want as many participants as possible to have a shot at winning. If your scope is fixed power above 20x power you will get an * (asterix) by your score. This asterix just indactes you had a higher power scope. For the ten slots, six slots with the best scores will be reserved for those with true vintage scopes. Four slots will be for all others, the top four scores.

When submitting your target for score submit a picture from your shooting position indicating your 50 yard line. Not to mention we all love to see these beautiful older rifles and setups.

Partner Spotlight: Hi-Lux Optics

A Legacy in Optics — Bridging Vintage Tradition with Modern Precision

When I was dreaming of the next challenge it was all about vintage. I wanted something special something we all could enjoy towards the end of 2025, which has proven rough for me and my family. With vintage in mind I knew my partner of choice should be Hi-Lux. I wanted a partner whose story matched my passion with great craftsmanship, and respect for rifle-scope heritage that many in our community hold dear. That’s why we’re proud to team up with Hi-Lux Optics (also sometimes referred to as Hi-Lux / Leatherwood / Malcolm Optics) — a company that stands at the unique intersection of historic rifle telescopes and cutting-edge optical engineering.

I personally own Vintage Hi-Lux scopes — they have a classic appearance but modern glass and tech, and their quality means I reach for them first when fitting a vintage rifle.

One of the guiding principles behind Leatherwood and Hi-Lux has been to bring quality optics within reach of enthusiasts, not reserved only for elite or pro shooters. Hi-Lux Optics+2Hi-Lux Optics+2
While vintage-style steel tube scopes are relatively simple in appearance, crafting them well involves aligning multiple multi-coated lenses in a solid, rugged mounting tube. Hi-Lux emphasizes that even these “simpler” scopes are time-intensive to build.
