    kinda is a 1903...M54 was a copy of the 1903, the bolt from a 1903 will work with mods in a M70...

    I've got exactly the same rifle, made in the same year, with exactly the same scope. I have that Lyman scope stored away and a Weaver K4 on it right now. My rifle has the newer safety (a later add-on) and a Redfield peep sight mounted behind the rear scope mount.

    Yep, I have a 1953 mfg which still hunts.
    Nice rig you got there. I saw a M54 last year that I let slip by...
