You just have to quit posting pictures of that rifle all over the Internet! It is about the nicest Enfield I've seen in all respects.
After reading retiring I'm trying really hard to stay away from things that cost a lot of money and you seem to have a very nice collection of rifles that Put evil thoughts in my head and I do have a clean Remington made 1917 that the wants to be made into something.
Nick Hughes and James Anderson are great craftsman.
Agree. Those guns are getting scarce.
Now, if it's been "bubba" smithed, ears ground off, etc., then a donor. If not and in good shape, ditto Butch's advice.
You can spend a LOT of money doing a full house job like that.
Just for the bucks, get a .416 Rigby CZ, if not fancy enough, get AHR to fix it up. I think that would be less expensive than what Butch did. Maybe not as pretty, but nice.
Butch, that gun is almost too pretty to take hunting...
