Welcome to the LE club again Chris...
Better luck this time!
I was out shooting mine again yesterday, at the Sealand Army range. It's always a pleasure to shoot it, particularly at 300yds. The sound of the "Lee Enfield Boom", you just can't beat it!

300yds is probably the sweet spot range for shooting a No.4

Or rather it's my sweet spot range for shooting a No.4

Are you going to strip it down and give it a good soaking with Linseed Oil? It's probably very dry; after being stored for all those years, and the wood has contracted in the bedding. Might tighten your groups up a bit.

At 300yds, I was at the mercy of the target markers in the Butts, I was getting around 6inch groups at that range. Although I didn't get to see the target close up, I was more than happy with the indicated shot-fall.
