    Do you have any bracket/rifle numbers with those scopes?

    I have 1 bracket number but I have already found its owner and an trying to find the right bits for my L42. My L42 is in storage so i do not know what scope number is stamped on it but hopefully the bracket will turn up with the right scope

    I have two bare L42s, but there is no way of telling which scopes they once had. One rifle has an "X" prefix, which probably means a scope in the 25000 range (eg I know rifle X32284 was paired with scope 25237), the other is a "U", which probably had a lower number. If your scopes are still in their original brackets, the rifle number is usually stamped on the bracket.
