The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk 1 is a nice rifle as well.

Yep. Fastest bolt action ever made. Just keep your sights on target and snik-snik you're ready to shoot again. It's ugly as hell, but maybe that's just character...

d.o.l.

Indeed! I bought mine after I purchased a Gewehr M1898. The G98 has little recoil, but the LE No.4 Mk.1 kicks like a bloody mule; cuaght me off guard the first time that I fired it.

If you ever spot an old sporterized .303 (Herters stock) with Serial # 75L8057 give me a shout. It was stolen from me 30 years ago in Vallejo, CA. The fired brass is unique in that a fired case is slightly enlarged at the neck and has a tiny pimple like bulge on the neck. (teenage attempt at creating a .303 improved)

Faster than the Krag ? I have one of each and consider the Enfield much slower/rougher than my 30-40 aka 30 army Krag . Maybe I just have a bad example of the enfield No 4 Mk 1..........

Stay safe .........BTW have ya peeked, shot, read up on or handled the 6.8MM SPC or the 6.6MM Grendel ? Opinions ?
