Could that M1903 possibly be the 'Dad Farr' NM rifle used to set the record score at the 1921 National Matches? That is in the National Firearms Museum, as I recall.

Looks like his homemade spotting scope - one-half of a pair of opera glasses - noted in one of Major Culver's 'Sea Stories' on this site.
