There are two versions of them. The 2A and the 2A1. The 2A was built between 1963-65 and the 2A1 from 1965-1970. They both were built from scratch involving better metalurgical techniques of the time to handle the higher pressures of .308 ammo. Thousands were bought by Gibbs in the 70s who sold them on the US market, though alot were modified afterwards were Gibbs tried to pass them off as things they were not (Gibbs do this alot especially with faking No5s).
They tend to have a 12 round magazine. The 2A1 had a different sight marked only to 800 yards while the 2A goes to 2000. The 2A1 has has more stamped steel parts. Over all they are reasonable rifles, rather accurate but lack the beauty of other Enfields. For the price they are going they are well worth it, just on the money you will save on ammunation.
Other .308 Enfields you might want to look at are the DCRA match Enfields made in Canada, though these tend to be single shot rifles, they are very accurate and if someone wishes to buy me one go ahead.
There is also the L42 and L42A1 which were used as sniper rifles in the British military and around the world up until the 70s. They have the barrel cut down and looking more sporter like to reduce weight, scoped and such but are much harder to find, though not as hard as the Canadian one.
