Dear Bill (XAUSA) and Run With The Fox, the scope is mounted
high enough for the safety to clear and the bolt, and the Lyman 48 does not need to be removed while the scope is on. The caliber is 30-06 and the serial number is 467xxA. It also came with a G&H scope holster and a Winchester marked sling.
The rifle has a lot of character as is. I am going to clean
the slight bit of surface rust off that is here and there, and put the Lyman 48 in an ultrasonic cleaner for a bit. Personally,
I agree with what Old Glass said
"A very nice rifle with a lot of history obviously and a type I've always liked since they can be used without fear of spoiling a pristine finish etc."
