    I agree John, But Its a shame when someone does experiment with original old rifles etc, but as its been drilled and tapped for a scope not a problem in my opinion, lot cheaper to run and more pleasant to shoot in 5.56mm.

    True Geoff, I guess we have collectors or shooters, going back to the 60's, the two were much the same. Today they tend to be polar opposites of the shooting community.

    Some of the high end, bespoke manufactured, all singing and dancing modern target rifles, at my local range, just bore the life out of me!

    Give me my worn WW1 Enfield any day of the week....
