Please pardon my ignorance as I'm new to bolt actions, and the Springfield in particular (although I've always wanted one) I just acquired a 1903 A3 Remington. It has two very small holes in the top of the receiver placed on the M in Model and the 0 in 03. I'm assuming they were for a scope at some point. The first hole on the M does not go all the way through, the second on the 0 does. My question is, I'd like to keep this rifle "as-is" and use it, is it safe to fire this way?
