finally..29-6 with Leupold came home
I always wanted a nice Smith with a nice scope and finally. I found the gun unfired in the box in Wisconsin driving around and after the dreaded wait to get NJ permits (45 days...), I took her home. I got a 2007 Leupold 2.5 - 8 power unfired off armslist for a great deal (thanks Gary!!), glossy which they do not make any more. It's a super nice piece of glass. Treated the gun to a Ballistol and Renwax bath, got her a Wolff type 2 and 14 lbs trigger return spring and could not be happier. The action is great. Made up some 240 Nosler 0.429 over 5.1 gr bullseye. Range report coming tomorrow. This one has been unfired long enough.
Thanks 75Vette for enabling and yes, like yours this one has a forged smooth trigger too, a forged hammer and a MIM latch but no internal lock (a no go for me).
