I have a question. Do any of the members that have a true Enfield (T) or clone hunt with them? Curious to know if they are reserved for the range only. Thanks.

I don't have one (much to my chagrin), but if I did, I certainly wouldn't hunt with it - given the pounding my rifles have to take when I'm in the bush, hunting.
I would end up with a badly dented & scratched historical piece! |

The clone I'm currently working on, although in my opinion nice, is now where near some of the examples I've seen on this site, lacking the "correct scope/mount". I currently use the DAI mount with a 2.5x Weaver. But to me, it will be a range rifle. I have a couple of sporters I use. One with a Bishop walnut stock has harvested much venison!

My genuine No.4 T is only used on the range. The serious modern hunter will realize that he now has access to both better ballistics and optics.

I am definitely not one of those! I have used a .303 forever, my black powder rifle is a TC Renegade. Shoot 420gr buffalo bullet with 90 grs of real black powder. My shotgun is a '34 Winchester pump! Sorry to stray from the main topic a bit. I do realize there are more modern rifles, but for me, it's very rewarding to bag deer with a weapon with all that history.

Kind of moving this off topic, sorry.
Any of you guys ever see the movie "Spy Games"? I don't think I had developed an interest in the SMLE yet when it was in the theater, but my wife put the DVD in the box a month or so ago. The story is about a character that Brad Pitt plays with his backstory being that of a USMC sniper at the very end of the VN war (1975). Yeah, I know. I'm enjoying my bowl of snacks, but this scene gets my attention.
Heah! That's an SMLE! So, I look it up on IMFDB and it is a Parker Hale T4! |

If you want one go to the Joe Salter Canadian site. He has one for close to $5k.

If you really want to give someone 5k for an Enfield. I need 5k. It's a real No4 Mk1 Enfield. The T goodies were put on by me... |
