Is there any chance the footprints and hole spacing are the same for front and rear, and you could reverse them? Sorry I don’t know these well enough to know for sure.
My plan is to get it on the bench this weekend and remove the scope and mounts. I’ll evaluate what direction I want to go. I wouldn’t even mind a classic open sight gun.Is there any chance the footprints and hole spacing are the same for front and rear, and you could reverse them?

That’s a really nice rifle and you can’t beat that style in my opinion. I like those old books with the “way back then” prices and all the additional information.here's some more......

Out of curiosity, what is that atop the scope?
Mine is good ol 06. I’d love a European caliber or a 243 would be really nice too.
I have some reduced hand loads that I shoot in my 03 Springfield that will clover leaf in this gun. Once I get the scope figured out, I can’t wait to see what it will do if I stretch it a bit.
Thank you. Almost all of my loads are reduced. If I can get accuracy out to about 150 yards, I see no reason to beat up these old guns. Much less my shoulder and brass.Be very careful with early 03's , heat-treating of receivers were bad , a dangerous situation.....Google info on it......Shoot straight & stay safe......
Well, the front mount isn’t coming off. The screws are pretty much gone from the previous owner attempting to remove it. I may just run open sights until I figure out what I really want in the way of optics. Kind of like the idea of a lightweight stalker for still hunting. Now to find a gunsmith. I’d like to save the mount if I could but it’s not a deal breaker. Looks like it has an old Redfield logo on itView attachment 325413
