Scope Mounting enfield

I would like to mount a scope on my already half sporterized no.4mk2 enfield. I have been looking for mounts but the only thing i found was from ati. I looking for suggestions on different mounts and expriences. Any advice would be helpful. Also if anyone would know where i can find a decent stock, the last owner butchered the current one.

Assuming your rifle isn't drilled for any specific mounts yet, check this. There are also reproductions of the original WWII sniper mounts, but those require mounting plates and are rather pricey.
The B-square mounts are no-drill, but people are having variable experience with the solidity of the mounts.

Fultons of Bisley makes the absolute best. It aint cheap, just good.
It attaches by way of the original rear sight pivot points & a clamp passing through the charger bridge. S&K makes a copy of it in the U.S. but the rear attachment is not as good IMHO & the rail is shorter, limiting scope options due to eye relief concerns & scope design.

Has anyone had any luck with s&K or ATI? I like the fultons but it is over 5x what I paid for the rifle.

What about the Cat-Technik mount?

The CAD-TechniK is an endangered species as far as I can tell.
Haven't been able to find one other than used for years. If you have a source Thud, please share.
The S&K is what I currently have on my sporterized No.4 Mk.1 5 grove.
