Grunt221 - Your model 1898 action is likely from a rifle made toward the end of Krag production.
Some higher numbered examples are known in the 482K range.
It appears to be drilled & tapped for a Weaver 'off-set' scope-mount. The #2 side-mount base and detachable mount show up on eBay, pretty often.
Bill Mook's calculations place serial number 481562 as being produced around September 1903.
