Overall these are good little target rifles. They come from the factory with target sights. The LSB uses a Mossberg rear sight and the front is a Lyman 17A so inserts can still be had. The one I have is a 144LSA (uses a Lyman rear sight) its very accurate with a usable trigger. The stock is shaped well for prone shooting and they come with a plastic hand stop.
On the downside the plastic trigger guards deform over the years and can be broken. If yours has the Mossberg removable sling swivels hang on to them; they are often lost and usually expensive if you can find them. And the red and green safe/fire buttons pressed into the stock frequently fall out. I'm pretty sure spare magazines can still be had.
I believe Mossberg dropped these rifles and a lot of other .22s in 1985.
