First rifle I hunted with, at 14 some 46 years ago, was this Lee Enfield .303, which still hangs out in my gun safe.

Shown it here before, but briefly: Dad bought it from Eatons dept. store for $10. Carved excess metal away, chopped barrel to 19", turfed a lot of forearm wood and carved down the rest, and hand carved the mahogany stock. Installed Williams peep and a Sourdough front sight. Barely weighs 6 lbs.

Got a decent 4x4 muley that year with it, and another one the next year before he bought me my own BSA Enfield 1917 in 30.06.
