I have a Savage Lee-Enfield that father gave me years ago as a young teen, as I begged and begged him for it. They are in my opinion are one of the best open site rifles in terms of accuracy at long range. I used to pop milk jugs at 300 yards with no problem. THe ONLY hatred I have of the SMLE is the short buttstock in relation to the front site and action. It is a real popper right up close to the face.

I believe the Enfield came in different stock lengths. Since the stock is a separate piece you should be able to obtain a longer one?!

Cheers,

It looks in great condition, i'm looking for one too, and ideally in the same condition.

Pretty rare now and much debated by the enfield 'purists' who were of the opinion it was an accountants cop-out to get the contract. Still popular down here by pig hunters and weekend warriors (like moi).
