Hoping to find out info on how to tell years of manufacture? How do I tell the differance between Mauser factory sporters and gunsmith conversions? Are there any good referance books I should get?

Pictures attached of my first sporter purchase in 7x57

I think the scope is an addition that occured after it left the factory, seems in keeping with the age of the rifle though.
