    O3A4 sniper scope

    I just acquired a O3A4 sniper rifle from brother that he brought back from Vietnam in 1967-68 from a storage warehouse, according to the serial number it is from the first block of rifles and the 1,344 made, my question is what scope or scopes would be right for this rifle, thanks in advance for any help.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Given that period you can either use Weaver 330C, Weaver M73B1, M81, M82 or M84 scope.

    Pictures of the rifle would be appreciated. Does it come with any capture papers as well?

    PS: while most even call it O3 it in fact is an 03 (zero - three) or full designation M1903(A4).
