How did I do?
I picked up this scope the other day a No32 MK I with the metal case matching the scope (was repainted on outside only) and adjustment tool. The scope was never painted black and the mount was never stamped with a the serial number of the gun. (This was done after the war I read). I would put it at good to very good condition with the only flaw being it is missing two of the eight screws from the mount holding the scope.How much are these worth?
Also how much should I expect to pay for a non-import mark (T) rifle from 1941, 42 or 43 in the same condition?

Congrats on the find!
Do you have pictures of the mount. It is odd that there are no rifle serial numbers on the mount. Could be a repro.
Most of the snipers that I have, and have had, are dated 1944 and a couple that are dated 1945.
Could be tough to find an earlier one.

Finding an early T that will be correct for your scope will be hard, a lot depends on the s/n of your scope. If you have a later Mk I scope you can get away with a '43 rifle. Your best bet might be to keep an eye out for an incomplete (aka unfinished) 1941 or 42 Savage. To view one check out Badger's library, to buy one, be patient as they do show up from time to time, but expect to drop $800-1000 on a good one.

found one perhaps
i found a 43 (T) marked rifle. The scope number on the gun is only about a 100 off from my scope. no import marks but is going to be between $1,100.00 and $1,300.00 What do you think?

If it were me, I wouldn't be too worried about trying to get a rifle close to your mount and scope. It will be mismatched either way, which is very common.
I would try to find a nice rifle that you can shoot for a decent price. I may be out of touch, but $1100 to $1300 seems pretty steep for an uscoped rifle.
Good luck,
Brian
