MDT LSS-22 and 64MPR tested. Assembling action and LSS is no problem, it fit tight and nicely.
Weather is colder every day, -3°C 27°F. I was obliged to keep gloves, and 2 stage trigger 250g 9oz with gloves is touchy.
A nice piece of work.
The scope is an old Tasco 24x44 with hair-dot 1/8 reticule.
The heavy match barrel, free floating.
100m 110y, SK Rifle Match.
Not bad for a first day. Not as good as the 54 but weather was colder and gloves didn't help.
To be honest, it's to soon to say how they shoot better than before LSS-22.
The benefit on comfort is great, it tend to make shooting easier. Good hold, positive let off, if the shooter is at work, results follows.
I've a good feeling about the mount quality and obviously it will improve overall performance.
The 1712 barrel wasn't free, now it is.
I had already upgraded the stock of the 64MPR, so difference is lesser than with factory stock.
Side by side 64MPR and 1712. The 1712 have thinner barrel than 1710, but it shoot so good while being light to carry.
A closer view of channels and barrels
64MPR and my old 1607 (match grade 54) have the same kind of barrel. Maybe modern 54 have a beefier barrel.
Problem with "real" Match 54 is the bulky 5071 or 5018 trigger.
