Thread: .303 enfield sniper hunt

Greeting Mooseman, Moa Hunter, Viper, Mathias Mimms, and All,
Thanks for your likes and comment on my unique .303. The rifle is one of three from my old soldiers cabinet that has connections to now departed friends. Amongst the other modifications is that it has been fitted with a PH base intended for a No 1 Lee Enfield. It has always shot well even with a badly pitted barrel, since replaced with a nice shiny two groove. The scope rings had been butchered to fit and were past further use but another set was found in the parts box to suit. The scope is a 2.5 power Lyman. Also in my box of bits there is an old Pecar 4 power reticle moving scope and some 26mm rings that would need to be modified slightly to fit. If I get especially bored one day I might look at fitting it. Still as is it is still a fair example of what a young hunter may have had when I started hunting in the late 1960's and I think of my friend every time I pick it up. That is probably enough.
Regards Grandpamac
