I have a similar gun and a number 4 Mk 1/2, which have scopes. Both have a Parker-Hale rail, clearly designed for the application. If you could find one second hand, you'd be on your way, though genuine rings to fit aren't cheap. I was lucky to get a Parker-Hale Mk III Lithgow, which already had the rail, for $50 (quite recently). It's far too nice to butcher for parts but shows that a bit of patience can get you there. My experience differs to the poster above, in that both my scoped .303s produce reliable groups, tighter than I would have expected from a perfect gun, given my less than perfect skills! My open sight 1917 version, on the other hand, took some time to put a hole into an A4 sheet at 50 yards...
