Couple extra holes on top of the receiver for a scope base, forearm swivel stud is a replacement, but lots of condition to the wood and metal and came with a nice Lyman. Very nice!


What scope base would those top holes fit, guys?

Couple more

Ya got a unique rifle there. Thanks for making the effort of posting pics.

Hole spacing? Didn't Redfield have a I pc. mount that had 3 holes? Or was that Leupold?

The holes in the barrel are for mounting blocks that secure a long target scope from that popular in that era called Unertl. The was also the Fecker line of fine scopes but I've never seen one.

The single hole in the receiver ring looks like it could match the old Redfield 1 piece mount but sure hard to tell since all I've ever seen used 2.

Sure would be cool to find an old period scope and mount setup. About 20 yrs ago I found mounts for my Model 1952 Mannlicher. That was really good fortune.

The mount we believe the factory holes are drilled for has never been seen except in pictures. The old Redfields can be had though.

Thanks for that info.

I've got a 1936'ish 99R in 250 with the same two holes around the firing pin indicator, but mine doesn't have a hole on the front of the receiver.

It confuses me.

Noticed it's also D&Ted for a S7/T7 Rory. At least that's what it looks like in the pic.

Yes it is.

So we have a Salesman sample receiver and barrel? with non matching number wood and butt plate with a bunch of extra holes in the receiver and barrel, likely non factory! Why all the hoopla and posting on this bastardized piece? Please explain it to me!

Hater gunna hate.

No, we don't have a Salesman Sample rifle.

That's one of the reasons to discuss these, is to get this old incorrect information out of the way.

Feel free to reread the thread, especially the links to older discussions on why these aren't Salesman Sample rifles.

300SAVAGE.It's rude comments like that that are giving this site a bad name. Totally Uncalled for!!! If you don't like the thread MOVE ON!!

300 Savage:

The guys that live here don't have the best reputation for telling people what they want to hear. Everybody pretty much calls a spade a spade.

The forearm and the butt and butt plate not matching the receiver (but all matching each other) doesn't count it out as a from the factory gun for me. Fit to finish is excellent. And this wouldn't be the first time we have seen an example like this where a receiver turns up from god only knows where.

Got a couple of extra holes in the metal.

Still a nice and interesting gun.

Another one worth lettering. Never say never. GW

Right now there is what looks to be an old-school Redfield JR one piece mount over on eBay that closes on Thursday Feb 19.

I put Weaver bases on this but in each base, only 1 screw hole can be lined up. When screwed down, the bases appear tight and secure. With the low recoil, I thought I'd be OK? Scope is a 1.5 x 4.5 Weaver I had looking for a home.

You might want to get the second hole for each Weaver mount filled and re-drilled. While your rifle doesn't have a lot of recoil one screw in each of the mounts wouldn't give me a lot of confidence. With only one screw holding each mount in place there's a lot of room for one or the other to move. JMOOMV.
