It depends upon what sort of shooting you want to do, and what sort of accuracy you expect.

The most common Lee Enfield models are as below.

The SMLE ("Rifle No 1" series) has a light, whippy barrel and a mid-barrel mounted v-notch rear sight. Is capable of reasonable accuracy but needs a bit of work. Slick, light bolt action and a pleasure to use, as long as your eyes can see the sights and the target.

The No 4 rifle has a heavier barrel, and a better rear mounted aperture sight. Generally more accurate out-of-the-box than a No 1.

The No 5 rifle is a shorter barreled, lighter version of the No 4. A good rough-hunting gun at ranges up to 200 yards. Kicks stoutly when fired from prone position.

There are other less common variations around, which I'm sure other forum members will mention, but I'll stick my neck out and say that a good No 4 rifle, with a 5 groove barrel and a 1300 yd adjustable rear sight would be a good starting point. Remember, you probably won't stop at buying one only!
