Parker Hale produced sporterised versions of the SMLE No 4 back in the 60's and early 70's. There were four grades, the Standard, Deluxe, Supreme and Custom, the latter not seen much.

They were very popular here in NZ where most of us hunters back then cut our teeth on the SMLE and the Supreme was quite a nice sporter at a good price in the day, certainly a step up from the old hacked about ex military 303's that had been the order of the day.
