There is a person on eBay,  Leen8472 that has alot of items for the Lee-Enfield. I happened to find a brand new and never used "All Steel, No Gunsmith Picatinny Scope Mount For No4Mk1 and No5Mk1."  Mine came with information stating that this one has 20 MOA built into it so, good to know.
This person also has alot of Parker Hale scope rings and mounts as well. 
Low profile scope rings allow for scopes with, up to a 44mm objective to be used with plenty of clearance...

That looks like the newer incarnation of my Fulton's Mount certainly. My older one isn't Picatinny. Not sure how this factors in but I had to add a shim to the front attachment point at the charger bridge (the thin sliver line shown here) to get a good zero though so I doubt it had any elevation built in!
Charger bridges weren't "gauged" though so it might simply be tolerances.

this is a real nice looking mount , the old version looks better than what i had for a mount on my charnwood rifle , the rifle looked like shamus mk2 but it was in 308 , i wish i had had a mount like that , i might have kept that rifle ,

I've been contemplating getting one of these to better evaluate my reloading development, in an attempt to remove my ability to squeeze off a consistent POA.  

Or am I overthinking things?

These particular scope mounts are exceptional in fit and finish.
Trying to find them is another thing however.

Yes, a scope will give you a more consistent POA, how much depends on how good you are with aperture sights.  A good scope and mount reduces my groups by about 1/2 to 1 MOA shooting off the bench.

I'm OK with aperture sights but I need to get a couple of front blades, as I am currently shooting way low.  I recently had a new to me barrel put on, as I had a bulge in the original.  In addition to sighting in, I need to bed the action and check the recoil lugs etc.  I'm having trouble finding sight blades though.  I have a 060 currently and need to find the 0 through 030 at least.  Lots of work to do...

That looks like a very nice quality scope mount Goosic. 
But I don't see where the extra 20 MOA is. It looks parallel to the rifle; as is Shamu's standard one.

I do not know either Zed. It was stated on the paperwork that came with it. 
I attached it to the rifle and then installed a pair of all steel Weaver Grand Slam Low Profile scope rings to it. Found my BSA Platinum 24x44 Target Scope and bore sighted it to the rifle.

I am loading up a small batch of .312" 170grn FMJ-BT projectiles using 36.0grns of IMR3031, Winchester Large Rifle primers, PPU cases and a C.O.L. of 3.100" to use for Target Shooting.  I am using a Vintage 1963 Lee Loader complete reloading tool. 
The projectiles are intended for use in the 7.62x54R but, have that perfect "Enfield" .312" diameter. These should make for a very fun day of shooting...

Looks like a fun day out! 
Looking forward to seeing the range report!

I was actually going to head up to the range this morning but, there is 8" of fresh snow on the ground currently and it is still snowing. Not a huge deal when you have 4WD except, it is a 3.0 mile dirt/granite road off of the paved highway that goes up and down and round and around and when it gets wet, it is all kinds of nope...

There's a couple of more commonly available (in the USA) no drill/ no tap (reversible no changes to the rifle) mounts made by
 
Another, very similar system is the N/D, N/T  "Insta Mount", made by S&K industries. It attaches by the holes for the cross pin from the original rear-sight & with a tapered wedge that clamps up under the charger bridge, similar to the Accumount.

I have the latter on my Jungle carbine sporter & like it.
I can't vouch for the badace, never having owned one but several on here have & they were positive.
