A little while back I picked up a nice original L57 in .243 - an original Australian import in serial no. 81XX range. Its seen a little use but not too much considering its age. Anyway tonight I spent some time getting it ready in the shed. When it came to me the trigger was around 5 pound so I spent some time changing springs, polishing parts and putting it all back together and now have it at 2 pounds with no creep and with the bolt safety working beautifully.
Next was to scope it. I picked up a nice used leupold x2.5-8 vxIII and wanted to mount this up in low mounts. I have the same scope on a L579 in mediums and knew from experience the lows are just a little too low. The x2-7 leupolds fit in lows but the x2.5-8 is just a bees dick too big. Anyway after some experimenting with shimming its looking great I think. I just love having the scopes mounted so low.
Now to bore sight it and see how it shoots
