Thank you everyone.
I was looking at sight hoods and would like to get an original. Is their any difference between the repo & originals?
The weaver scope looks good on the rifle but my eyes need something more modern.
I remember shooting this rifle back in the day, but I can’t wait to work up a good load with it.

Buy an original. That rifle deserves it, not a damn tacky repro.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

My gunsmith always said, "its a 40 dollar bill".

Really nice shape! I'd call that a 95% gun overall and well worth 900-1000. I really like the darker finish on the stock. You did very well. I have two, one in 3006 and the other a 270. I have a L 2.5-8 on one and a new L Freedom 2-7 on the other. I like the smaller scope size and weight on the fwt rifles. Both weighed 6-15 bare and are right at 8 with scope and mounts. I use a 3-9 or 3-5-10 on my standard weights. Much heavier gun, can handle a bigger, heavier scope. Enjoy!

It’s probably not 95%, theirs some wear on the last 1/3 of the barrel that you can’t really see in the pics. And scars on the stock.
I thought about a smaller scope but I’ve read their may not be enough scope adjustment for proper eye relief.
