Can't tell from the photo too well, but they appear to be very nice tiger striped stocks.
Congrats!

Yes - the bottom one is a nice 1936 with 1933 dated Walnut stock with the usual butt end wear.

I guess it would all depend on what you intend to do with the rifle. I shoot cast bullet matches upon occasion and since I have a cast bullet load that I know will hold 1", mine wears a an older Tasco 6x24x40 scope. It's bulky, but we shoot from the bench. The mount is an Accumount clamp on, definitely not parallel to the bore, I had to use Weaver windage adjustable rings. Without them I barely had enough windage adjustment to get on target at 100yd. The objective bell clears the rear sight by only about 1/8". Since it shoots the load so well, I usually shoot in the production class rather than the military class. I get to shoot smaller targets and also get to shoot more rounds.

If that Accumount is not parralel to the axis of the bore, then there's a definite problem.

It appears they machined it to be parallel with the receiver, which has a taper they didn't take into account. Bob S was quick to point out that taper to me when I was wondering about using a US made receiver sight or a scope mount like the Williams. The tail end of my scope had to come to the left to get parallel with the bore. I bought the mount when Johnny first started selling on ebay, I don't know if they've made any changes since.

Scope mounted. Ended up with a 1-4x for the distances available at the local range.

Now to Zero. Hope the temp warms up to above freeing this week!
