Enfield / 303 Advice

#1 Postby UL1700 » Mon Aug 06, 2018 5:42 pm

Each year my local range hold a Anzac Day 303 shoot and I thought it would be fun to have a crack and something totally different to my usual FTR / Open. Not wanting to spend a fortune, what do I need to look for in a Enfield? Current prices on used guns seem to vary from $200 to $12000 with most being around $800. I'm not interested in historical significance or rarity I just want something to play with at the range with some inherent accuracy.

Cheers James

Thanks for the tip, is there any way of readily identifying the heavy barreled variants. I have not found one listed as such, is this because they are rare or just desirable? I did find this which looked OK

Or this

One of my SMLEs has the parker hale sight and I prefer it to the central. Can't comment on whether that's a fair price or not. It might be worth contacting Jeff Pannan, who runs the Melbourne gun show, to see what he's got.
