Did you wear a cat burglar outfit when you got this rifle? You stole it. The mounts and optic may have some decent collector value as well, even though they are useless for utility value. Talley rings and mounts along with a decent 2-8 or 3-9 optic and you'll have your do-all classy rifle.
The gun looks all original as well. I could see a bit of conservation (removing no finish) that would bring that gun up about $1000 in value over purchase price.
