No expert, but think it's a sporterised Lee Metford Mk II, originally made in 1892. Barrel has been replaced with one with enfield rifling (hence the "E" marking).
I have its brother.

@john m "I have its brother."
That is incredible! What a coincidence.
Yours looks to be in slight better condition, although I have only recently received this rifle and have done nothing to clean it up.
Do you know anything of the service history?
Is yours a family heirloom, or something you picked up along the way?
I think the rifle I have belonged to his grandfather.
I notice your one has not had the muzzle modified/extended.
Cheers, Hugh
Do you want to buy the brother so you have a matching set?
I know nothing about its history. It came with a P 14 and a BSA Sportsman 15 from a deceased estate to look after until one of the kids got a firearms licence. That was over 20 years ago and have not seen or heard from any one since.
