Hello folks i need help identify a scope

[RJW NZ]

Welcome to the forum, you've picked a great way to start...

Awesome gift, a bit rare and worth money. Your scope is from a Lee Enfield No4 T sniper rifle, they sell on ebay about once a month between 1-2 thousand usa, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. With the mount and the tin they have sold for $2500. The odd thing is that a whole rifle with scope and tin will sell for the same amount, go figure. Go look on gunbroker.com under enfield, and then enfield sniper rifle, to see what they look like and sell for..
They do develop aging problems over time that should be repaired by a professional, so the sales prices are not automatic. Are the lenses clear to look through, with no mouldy or opaque areas, cracks or chips, and do the adjusting knobs move with a clicking feel? If they are still and don't want to move absolutely don't force them as it will break stuff inside. There are repair services available of needed and folks here can point you the right direction.


My suggestion? If it was a gift that connects you to history, such as a family member who served in WW2, don't sell it, you can never replace that stuff, instead go find a Lee Enfield that it fits onto that is missing its scope and get down to experiencing a bit of history for yourself at the target range with one of the finest sniper rifles ever made.

PM me if you like to ask any other questions.


Peter, lol, you're 100% right, I retuned the sentence better.
