-Or What Would You Do With This Enfield?
I got this rifle from one of my grandpa's buddies years ago before he passed. I'm guessing it was sporterized in the 50s and is chambered in .30-06. It shoots good and wears a Lyman Alaskan 2.5x scope on Buhler mounts. It's heavier than my 98 Mauser .30-06/Redfield Widefield 3x9 setup, so I haven't even shot it in at least 8 years. Would you/should I:
1) upgrade the scope and maybe get a composite stock to cut the weight?
2) sell it and buy something I'd shoot more?
3) let it maintain that space in the back corner of the safe for another 8 years and make a decision then?
