It is unmodified and it is not a springfield it is actually a smith-corona with a Remington bolt which severely affects the price of this rifle unfortunately. I have looked for a replacement smith-corona bolt. With the original bolt the rifle would fetch a pretty nice $800, it's just I have had a time trying to find a good matching bolt for this rifle. I ultimately would like to keep it all original, but it sounds like that would be impossible, I was just wondering if there was anyway of mounting a scope without altering the weapon. I would also happily take suggestions for a good replacement 30-06 hunting rifle that is fairly reasonably priced.
