The Springfield 187j was made by Savage and is the same as the 87.
They were produced before manufacturers were required to put a sn on every firearm made.

You can find a scope mount for a Savage Springfield Model 840 .30-30 rifle at various gun shops, sporting goods stores, or online retailers specializing in firearm accessories. It is important to ensure that the scope mount is compatible with the specific model of your rifle to ensure proper fit and function. Additionally, consider factors such as material, design, and mounting style when selecting a scope mount for optimal performance.
If you want to mount the scope directly to the barrel grooves you will need a 926587Redfield 1" Tip-Off Ring Mount 3/8" Grooved Receiver Matte Medium These are available at midway.com make sure you get the correct size rings to mount to your scope usually 1" Dia. You may need the tip off ring to be higher to clear the barrel mounted sight and the safety. The one above worked just fine on my wife's Springfield 187N. There's not a lot of info. out there on mounts for the Springfield/Savage line
Springfield 87M was proposed by Savage Arms as a training rifle for the military which had adopted the M! 30-06 rifle however the govt did not accept this rifle and Savage ended up selling it to the civilian market. 300 rifles were built. They were expensive back in 1940 and did not sell so was discontinued as Springfield brand. Sears bought some under the Ranger brand. 2010 one sold at auction for $1000. In 2012 one sold at auction for $1200 ( both without the scope). Springfield brand was discontinued shortly after WW11 ( 1946-48). The action of the rifle is also known as Springfield 87A and sold to a wide variety of retailers who sold it under their own private labe.
Considering that the Springfield 03 was used as a sniper rifle through WW2, Korea, and Viet Nam, it is safe to say that the Army figured out how to mount a scope. Watch the movie "Saving Private Ryan" for confirmation. Then visit the Brownell's web sie and see what they have for sale.
$400-$500 New
I have Springfield .22 long rifle, 5 shot magzaine, 24 inch-barrel and I want to install side mount for a Weaver scope. Where can I buy one. Truly, Bart
This would be very difficult as the Springfield Model 15 .22 caliber rifle is already an antique. Try the Burris 3 - 9 x 40 scope and hopefully there will be enough room for the holes to mount.
The marines issued a 7.8x Unertl scope. The army the 2.5x m84
