The old Weaver K4 scopes with a steel tube are a solid decent quality scope. I think they are referred to as "El Paso" because that is where they were made. The optics are not that great by modern standards, but passable, and they are know to be good reliable no-frills scopes.
If you decide to replace it, or want to trade it for one with a standard reticle, let me know by PM, I have a couple of them, and have had my eye out for one with a German Post reticle.
If it is not marked, you really should do a chamber cast to be sure. The 6mm Remington, (it that is indeed what it is) is a good varmint caliber, that may be why it has a heavy contour barrel.
I am having a hard time making out the Waffenampt number on the right side, is it 135? That would point to Mauser Oberndorf, 1941-1945
The fact it has a 1907 style sling make me think it was owned by a vet.
Nice looking rifle.
