it wasn't and it is only been used or evaluated to Australian forces as a sniper rifle. No other real links to lee enfields.
I had often thought that it was wrong to start it here but I supposed because of the link in history of the aussie sniper rifle and the fact that it was probably used alongside a HT for a little while, that it would have been accepted. I would not know of any other place to discuss it.

As for the scopes 3-9 x40 vx-1 leupold is the only scope that i have seen concrete proof of it being used.
The SSAA website under the CSD rule book has a table which lists the Omark and 2 scope models.
If you have a 4-12 on it wind it back to 9 and you have an idea of what it wa slike.
Interestingly enough the M82 that was later adopted used a Kahles used a fixed 6 power scope. Everyone seemed to do OK. I think we like to "overpower" our rifles today with big magnification. All they do is exacerbate the wobble area!! Now if your talking clarity of optics, that where the money is better spent.
