Thread: Trusty Enfield Upgrade

Bought my Enfield earlier this year to go on a Queens birthday weekend stroll with my son. When trying to sight in the scope, found it kept sliding off the rail. After a number of rounds, thought I might as well just start walking, figuring that I would probably shoot from the hip if I saw something.

Got home and thought, well, time to fix this.

First item - new scope rail made by ATI. Attached it no worries. New rings for the scope. Went to the range, but could not see the target. Discovered that the insides of the scope had come loose. Bugger.

Next item, new scope. Got a SUPER STRIKE 6-24x50 Illuminated Red & Green.



Then spotted a nice synthetic stock by ATI. Did some cogitation get for a couple of weeks, asked the supplier if he had them in black. Had to wait a few weeks, but eventually arrived. Stripped the rifle and reassembled using the new stock.






Now it's looking pretty good I thought.

Next item, a bipod of course. Got a few years under my wheels, and the muscles have been battered and bruised with lots of Motorsport bumps, so holding the rifle to sight in gets a bit wandery.



Chatting to the son recently, and he showed me what he had done to his Savage Axis 308. Shortened barrel, big whisper tube on the nose, and a variable power scope, sitting on a bipod make for one mean looking unit. Got me thinking, maybe I should complete my project with a whisper tube... Mmmmmm...decisions...
