The .308 was too powerful for an assult rifle, but the US Army gave it their best try in the 1960's, equipping the M14 rifle with numerous modifications to make it into an assault rifle. As a squad auto weapon it was probably quite adequate, but the .308 was just too powerful a round for use in weapons defined as assault rifles. If other armies tried to develop an assult rifle using the .308 cartridge, nothing ever came of it to the best knowledge of this contributor.

What is the value of an Enfield 308 bolt action sniper rifle?
No such rifle. The Lee Enfield was made in caliber .303 British, not .308. The closest thing would be the Ishapore 2A or 2A1 rifle, made in caliber 7.62 NATO. While similar the .308 Winchester, it is not the same, and .308 should not be fired in a 7.62 NATO rifle. The Lee Enfield "sniper" rifle in .303, if original and complete (and not an aftermarket conversion) may sell for around $1500, depending on condition and accesories. There are many fakes on the market- be sure of what you are buying.
