I have recently inherited a "sporterized" 1917 Enfield (Eddystone) in .30-06.
It was sporterized by Kenneth VanZandt of Arkansas in the late 1960's and has not been drilled and tapped for scope mounts, though the rear action "ears" have been milled off.
The stock has the correct drop for iron sights, so mounting a scope will probably result in a poor cheek weld.
It still has the cock-on-closing feature and original bolt handle.

I already have an accurate .30-06 so I was thinking about having my first custom build on this action.

Any advice on using this action? Cautions or suggestions for maximizing the benefits of this action?

I have always admired the .300 H&H but have never owned one, so this is my first thought.

Any and all input is greatly appreciated.

Ed
