Most bolt action service rifles from WWII if my research is correct, had at least a few "sniper" varients developed.
That said, I am curious as to the rarity of the Lee Enfields version, you will most likely encounter either a Springfield (if you're lucky) with a scope mounted to it (aftermarket or otherwise) or a Mosin Nagant M91/30 with a PU optic mounted to it.
If they do exist on the civilian market, what price point would such a rifle demand, and are they available here in the US.
For those that may own one, are they shootable? I know some early Springfields may not be safe to fire depending if they were used as drill rifles or not.
