I like the Remington Model 30.
I picked up a 30s Express in 30-06 about a year and a half ago at a show for $250.
It sat there with no interest with a price tag of $300. The dealer thru the $250 price at me as soon as I asked to look at it.
Great condition, Lyman 48. The front ring and bbl had target scope blocks mounted. No scope. Story was the deceased owner was shooting 'long distance' (what ever that was).
I removed the bases and plugged the holes.

The Lyman 48 alone was worth almost that.

As for the bolt detent, it's clearly an add-on. Possibly they were even available as an aftermarket bolt-on, since it's fastened by the peep sight mounting holes. I've often wondered if those holes were factory, since just about every photo of every Remington 30 I recall seeing had those same two holes.
