If I see a Number four, I'll have to give it a try. I'm not going to look for one though. There's something about the Enfields that I really don't like. It must be that two piece stock that looks like it was cobbled together. Also, since I don't reload for .303, I've never tried to see what my rifle will do.
This Cooper Challenge won't be won with a bolt action. It also won't be won with anything that needs a magazine change. Someone should call Barrett and see if they're up to winning this thing.
Texas Railroad tunnels? Don't think so.

Just some humble FYI for what it's worth...since you don't reload (once you try a cheap Lee Loader, you will attain a new level of spiritual joy)...
In researching specs for my friend's #4 sporter, the one I fired last week...barrel harmonics seem to be the limiting factor with them (don't know what damping effect all that G.I. wood may exert), and 2400-2450 fps. (if memory serves) is optimal. We wonder what the Hornady Light Magnum moly-coated rounds may do.
Muttly must now look into this magic Swiss rifle he always wanted anyway..so off we go !
