This .222 just sold here in Australia for $AU1600:
The advert states that it has a 4x MSW Wetzlar scope. It also says that it is an L46. The shape of the butt/cheekpiece looks more like an L461, but I know that there is some cross-over as I have seen an late L46 sporter .222 with this shaped butt in a local LGS:
From these photos you can see that it is not always obvious from side-on photos whether the rifle has an L461 floor plate or an L46 detachable mag. What I think I can see in the photo of the full wood is the red paint on the bolt shroud which indicate it is an L46. Also I wouldn't expect the advertiser (Graeme Spraggon) to make a mistake in identifying the model.
