You done good. The scope setup alone is worth a couple of bucks!
The lever boss has a small letter stamped on it along with inspector numbers - what letter is it ?
"A" by chance?

The part of the receiver under the action where the lever is attached.
According to the manufacturing/production serial numbers I have you are probably right in believing the rifle was produced in 1949.
Are you able to post images?

Based on the serial # and the star, or asterisk, boss code, I would say manufactured in late 1948. If made in 1949 it would have had an A boss code.

The asterisk * or star is 1947 or 1948. The best data I have for 1948 production is serial #'s between 504,xxx to 520,790 so your rifle is firmly in the 1948 data with the * confirming 1948.
