For sure during WWI and I would imagine the early stages of WWII.
IIRC, the ANZAC forces, particularly the Aussies, used SMLE based snipers well into WWII, if not later. Got a big book all about German sniper rifles and it briefly covers them, but I am sure there is a lot more information out there. |

Yes they used scope mounted SMLE's esp during WW1 but they developed a sniper version of the Pattern 14 ( No3 Mk I* (T) ) that was better and that was used more often and into WW2.
Original SMLE sniper rifles are EXTREMELY rare. |

Yes. Very very few survive. Most of the ones that do are Australian HT rifles.
