After reviewing the thread about the 1917 sniper and Melanie Daniels picture of one, it appears as if my 1917 has the scope bases in the same place. Now I am Very interested in my rifle. However, even is its nothing special, I still would like to put a vintage scope on it. Evilbay does have some vintage scopes but I have no idea which ones are good and which are bad. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

The scope bases are for commercial Unertl or Lyman (plus some other makers) externally adjustable scopes. Post WWII, probably 60's vintage. They're not Posa bases at any rate, so that widens your options.

Jmoore----Thank you very much sir for the info as far as the bases. Besides Unertl and Lyman, what were the other scopes that would work on my bases?
I apologize for asking questions right off the bat (instead of reading all the posts), but it was late when I found this site and was very curious about the scope mounts. I will start reading all the threads and if I have questions, which I know I will, I will ask.

The Lyman 438 is a fairly low cost vintage scope that look like the more expensive Unertl, Winchester and Lyman scopes. I believe it is eight power.

Plus- Fecker, B&L (now just Bushnell), and even a Tasco version of the B&L Balvar. There's others, but these seem to be the most common.

Thank you all for the replies, they are much appreciated!!!
We are camping this week and I am home for a few minutes to check our emails so I will start searching for things (stock, scope, etc.) to bring the old girl back to her original state.
