The 1948 (or maybe '49) RS I had from my Grandfather -- ident by consensus here, in older threads and chambered in .300 Savage -- had the sling swivels (same as on our Winchester M71), RS fore end and checkering, folding Lyman #6 rear sight, Lyman tang sight (1A), and a Griffin & Howe cam-lock scope mount with a steel Weaver K2.5 positioned low over the bore.

The screw slots on the side mount were still there; no idea if that meant Savage or aftermarket installation. The G&H design at the time meant the 'scope had to be dismantled first to get a one-piece ring in between the ocular bell lens and the adjustment housing... so IOW the 'scope had to be put back together after that G&H ring was added. (G&H fixed me up with a two-piece solution to that...)

I've just recently passed that on to younger relatives...
