The M85 had an illustrious career and would have served in "some" Police Forces, as the Lee Enfield Enforcer dwindled in interest in some of those Forces who had more money to spend.

Nuff said on my views that the M85 should have taken over from the L42A1 as the winner of the Military Trials................but hey!! Get over it ............the L96A1 won the competition!!

In terms of your rifle, there is no scope listed on the register, so one can reliably say or assume it was supplied less scope.
