Any BSA experts in here?

I recently picked up this BSA rifle in 30-06 but honestly have no clue what it is. It was just one of those guns that as soon as I saw it I wanted it. The bolt is incredibly smooth and the trigger feels great , maybe a 1-2lbs pull with a crisp break. The build quality is really nice but I can't find a lot of information about BSA anywhere and I'm definitely not an expert in vintage rifles but the guy I bought it from said it was based off a m1917 action. Does anyone know what this is?

I think the scope base might interfere.

I think the scope base might interfere.

I don't have stripper clips to test but since it has no rear sights it'll be absolutely useless after a scope is put on.
