Springfield 30-06, weaver k2.5 scope & cartridges

Maskedcapper · Jan 13, 2020

I have a Springfield 30-06 for sale. It's in great condition, everything works as it should. Included is a red field scope, I do not know its magnifacation. Also included is 52 rounds of Remington 30-06. And 20 empty Remington cartridges.

NICE rifle. Do you know how old it is? Just interested. Looks like a vintage Weaver scope too.

I am pretty sure it's older. I am not familiar with how to look that up accurately. It's got 139622 as its serial, which when I looked it up says 1905.

And yes it's a weaver k2.5 scope. I guess red field is the brand the
mount on.

That is a very nice rifle. To me it looks like it was rebarreled. How long is the barrel?
Has the safety been modified or does the scope interfere with it?

I am learning about this rifle through these kinds of conversations. I am not sure where to start the measurement from. It's either 20.25" not including thread length or its 26" if I measure from where the bolt slide starts.

I think the safety rests against or really close to the scope, its gets in the way in my opinion, but I am not sure if it's been modified.

You measure from the base of the barrel, like where the base of the cartridge would be if inserted in the chamber, to the tip of the barrel. The hole in the side of the action is a close starting place and going by the second picture looks like a 21" barrel.
Thanks for the pics.
