the L-E action is not one which has much intrinsic accuracy in it, like most rear-locking actions. They can be made to shoot well, by the standards of the 1970s and 80s but British shooters have pretty well discarded them for serious competition now. The No.4 is able to accept the pressures generated by the .308 Win cartridge but is pretty well strained to the limit, and it occasionally lets go under under the stress of a hi-pressure load and a rain-soaked action. They also shot about 5 minutes high when they get wet. Receiver modification is required for reliable feeding - unless you want to stick with the .303 case or modifications of it.
