Nice! don't fergit to switch on the magazine! Bring it to the Napa Rod &Gun range and we'll have a contest with the one I still shoot (on the right) 1873 trapdoor infantry 45-70

I suspect yours is a sporterized import not made at the Springfield armory...hence no marking on the left of the barrel or top front receiver end (directly under your scope's adj screw.) We'll keep it at 100 yards since yours is a carbine and I'm too old to compute a 'rainbowing 45-70's arc over the 100-yard mark...yours will have the flatter trajectory.
