I have a 1942 No4 I bought when I was a teenager on the recommendation of my grandfather - $70, almost mint. I hunted with it for decades. Great sights, great bolt, decent cartridge. Now that my eyes are not as good as they used to be, I really need a 4x scope on it, but I can't bring myself to remove the back sight!

The rear sight is graduated to over 2000 yards. I can only imagine the level of marksmanship they used to train the average "Tommy" for.
