A bit of early ANZAC spirit struck me this afternoon so the 1942 Lee Enfield No4 Mk 1* came out for an evening walk. Made in Long Branch, Canada, numbers matching including mag, with a 1942 manufacture sling.
60m neck shot with the open sights. Then it promptly fell into the river so looking a bit bedraggled.

Wow.Did you see the H&H .303 double rifle in the same auction?
It would make a great bush rifle.
One for the Sako appreciation society... L579 Forester in .308 with a nice little Leupold Vari-X 2-7 Compact

I have built it as an every day carry classic .
Good selection of 30 cal projectiles made the caliber decision for me
Rings will be swapped out for steel ones when available

I still have to epoxy bed and touch up the gaps to my new barrel
