Is the scope mounted to the barrel instead of the receiver? I saw a 39M at the local Gander Mountain store with the scope mounted in the same fashion. They wanted over $700 for it!

Is that a old Mossberg scope on it?
With the barrel drilled and tapped for the scope mount it is an older one for sure. What letter prefix does it have and we can date it or have you already looked up year of mfr?

btw you did really good and I don't care how much you gave up for it. that's a sweet classic with proper vintage scope to boot.

I have one from the same era. Now I can't see most open sights worth a crap but this one seems to work for me in good light. Our local shooting range had a 22 rifle competition last year and I won the open sights with that rifle. It shoots absolutely anything I put in it right where it should. Wished I had one when I was a young kid. Still enjoying it as an old kid though.
