There is a pretty decent shape sporterized .303 Enfield for a low price at a LGS. I don't mind that it's sporterized (stock shortened in fore-end...as typical) because I had one years ago, but got rid of it because the bore was shot out. The barrel and bore on this one seems good. (I'm sorry, but I was in a hurry and the store was about to close, so I didn't find out what version, era or "mark" the rifle was.)
That's all fine...except the gun has no sights on it. And wasn't tapped for scope mounts. I'd rather not have a scope, but the store owner seemed to imply that sights might either be hard to get or expensive or both. What would you Enfield guys suggest? Or is a scope the least expensive way to go? Sorry I can't give you more info or expertise on this. I'll find out more about the gun next time I go there. Thanks.
