[QUOTE="Old Hickory 45, post: 2290808, member: 115728"] Of my harem of squirrel rifles is an old model Marlin Model 60 .22 LR. It is very accurate but with a very heavy trigger pull of 5 1/2 pounds to 6 pounds. Yesterday I took it to a gunsmith pal that tore the rifle down. We discovered the trigger spring is not a coiled spring, is a dang Y shaped spring. Yeah, it shot down my expectations of an easy fix. I recently tricked out my Savage BMAG .17 WSM here at home and bought a new Burris 3X-9X and medium scope rings for the rifle. Alas, the added Glades Armory bolt handle would not clear the adjustment ring of the scope.o_O This was an attempt to use medium rings instead of high rings. So, I mounted my old Bushnell Banner 3X-9X 40mm on the BMAG and it works with just enough scope clearance. The Burris fits nicely on the Marlin 60 with medium rings. The whole intention was to get away from high rings on both rifles and now it works. This is some info as for switching out high rings for mediums. [/QUOTE]
