It's true pure collectors would not want the drilled for scope mount gun. There is another group of enthusiasts who enjoy real shooting guns with appropriate modifications, at much less cost and resale value.
I own a M 1903 Arsenal produced sporter that was drilled for a Redfield Mount years ago. Worth a fraction of unaltered gun. It carries a long slide Lyman 48 with a slide filler And either a Weaver T 10 for targets or a K 2.5 hunting. I don't know how you could find a better handling 30/06 unless it was a early production M 70 fitted the same way.
Have my eye on. G&H .257 Roberts on a commercial Mauser action now. To my eye nothing new can touch it even the custom rifles.
Sell the new one
