The Navy Arms version in .308 apparently didn't correct any of those problems.

Nope. Sure didn't. Not with factory ammo, anyway. The voice of experience. But you can handload it into something passable. No help with accuracy though. Now the No 1 MkIII 2a - that's a different story.

Wonder how a shortened SMLE would do without all the other “lightening” work?

I do like the looks of the short carbine. The Swede M36 is a very nice light rifle. Moderate recoil and excellent terminal performance. Not terribly common ammo though.

I have a No. 4 Sniper that was accurized by Holland and Holland — I handload for it, use neck size die and 174 gr Sierra match bullets with IMR 4320. Given that the (original) scope is a bit fogged, it’s pretty accurate, not a tack driver but pretty good. (I want a tack driver I’ll use the Ruger M-77. That is a great rifle.)
