Bringing all this down to practical. I have a low number 03 in my shop right now. Friend of mine wants me to mount a scope. Years ago his Dad converted 03's as a hobby this one was passed along as a heirloom.
Rifle is nicely done in the "Weatherby" fashion. well stocked blued with a ported barrel. All over good workmanship. Had a Redfield Jr mount already installed, all I have to do is put the rings on and bore sight. My friend is not a shooter and will probably never use the Rifle.
Think I ought to give him a "low number" lecture ?

No lecture, but you might point him in the direction of this discussion. My opinion is that of all the LN's that were/have been/or are still out there, the ones that were gonna fail have probably already failed.
