The beat-up one was birch, as is my current savage. Albeit, its an un-numbered Savage replacement.

Cheesy411: when you get the rifle and if you decide to keep it, PM me, re: sight swap.
If all checks out and it is the real deal I plan on keeping it, I was trying to save some money but I’m sucker for anything commonwealth let alone no4 snipers. I listed a few things to make my purchase lol.
