Frenchieboy Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) I actually got out today to try the Sporterised Lee Enfield Mk4 303 rifle today. Unfortunately the scopes I had mounted on the rifle turned out to have a defect (The reticules were moving on their own) so I had to go baqck home and put another set of scopes on the rifle. I did eventually manage to get the rifle zeroedbut you will have to wait for Part 2 of the video to be uploaded - Youtube is playing up a little for me to upload videos so please be patient. I have decide to buy a brand new set of Simmons Scopes to go one the Enfield so I am not too worried about using it till then. Even so I have to say that the recoil was much "tamer" than I expected and that it was a pleasure to shoot such a classic rifle,. I should add that until today it is well over 45 years since I last fired a Lee Enfield 303! Here's Part 1 of the video if the link works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jub59tqIn88&feature=c4-overview&list=UU7Y3ebQYzdwgWJaLmRIQNMA Edited November 17, 2013 by Frenchieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here at last is "Zeroing the Enfield 303 Part 2" to show how well she "performs"! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gsp--QaZICk&feature=c4-overview&list=UU7Y3ebQYzdwgWJaLmRIQNMA Edited November 17, 2013 by Frenchieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have you just got it for the hell of it ha ha Atb Flynny I do plan on using it for stalking and culling but I have to get some expanding ammunition loaded and a new set of Simmons Scopes fitted on it first mate! Maybe I should start small and try it on a rabbit before I use it on any deer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy days. Sam I have to agree with you about the SMLE but the "sporter" version looks more like the right tool for stalking and culling. Even so I honestly see (And always have done) the Lee Enfield as a true classic rifle in whatever format it is in! Norrie, the recoil is nowhere near what you might expect it to be, in fact I thought it was very tame compared to what I was expecting.
