OK folks, I need your help. I have a no 5 lee enfield and need to scope her as I can't see the front sight well enough anymore. Can someone recommed a quality mount that won't shoot loose or cost a small fortune?
Thanks for your help.
 
If its a real No5 a no drill mount is a good idea. If its one of the many numerous fakes that were made in the 50s-60s then drill and tap the bugger. You not going to be hurting its value like you would an original.
 
I have a Cad Technik on my No.4 Mk1 and I love it. It has a traditional feel and is rock solid. You can remove the top portion and still leave the mount base on, so you can go from scope to iron sights and back very quickly. Took me a couple minutes at the most to install it.

Here's a pic of my Enfield with the mount. One of these days I'll get around to staining that cheekrest:banghead:
