I think you got a nice rifle. The workmanship appeals to me. The pictures didn't show enough detail to see the indications that was a 1922 stock to which the cheek piece was added. I have seen a scope mount like that somewhere before but don't recall where. I hope it was attached using the scope block holes that were in the rifle when it came new from Springfield Armory. If that scope mount could be removed and "O" and "E" Lyman scope blocks installed holding a long target scope you would have a classy rig.
The Lyman 48 that came on the 1922M1 had the elevation scale numbered to 125. Back in the days when your rifle was produced the slide with elevation scale numbered to 150 was referred to as the "long slide". See Brophy's book, pages 474 and 475.
