the 1947 mauser model they made came with a much nicer stock and polish bolt
then the 1903 one above a 1942 model

Side screws are through bolts to help the stock take recoil.

It is a 1903, not 1903A3.
Cut up so bad, the distinction is academic.

Don’t walk away, RUN!!!
A low #03 will do fine, till it let’s go! Catastrophically!
Even not safe with a cast bullet load of 20gr of #2400. Saw one disintegrate at the range once! Fortunately shooter only needed first aid for minor cuts and parts removal (wood splinters).

Its a Utah Hunter s rifle I bet many of hot loads have been shot through it for years at deers so it's field tested by now
Friend of mine feels the same way, I gave him a nice Arisaka sporter so he'd quit shooting his old well worn 1903 next to me.....
Again your choice, but IM not doing it, and I don't want one next to me.
As to the gun itself.
If it isn't a low serial, id offer 200-250 cause that stocks gotta go.
Otherwise the gun looks pretty nice.

If it really is a Remington - they made 1903 and 1903 Modified before the 1903A3 - then it is not a "low number."

You realize you can get an excellent new T/C Compass in many calibers for $250-$270 ? They are accurate with excellent metal work. The stocks are plastic but seem to work ok on the two I bought for my kids.

Still like shooting old school metal and wood for some reasons feels like old times when I was a teenager with my 8mm Mauser
out in the desert with my friends ,newer rifles shoot more accurate but they don't have the feel of any past history. the old Sporter rifles I shoot don't have the look of the original stocks but they are still that feeling of history behind them

My Remington 03A3 sporter, inherited from my grandad, has produced 2” groups at 100yds with its 2-groove barrel and old AP ammo.
