Unsub,
The SMLE is an awesome rifle. I have a jungle carbine, which is one of my all-time favorite rifles, of any style. The bolt is incredibly smooth; they did an outstanding job designing it.
Having the heavy-duty detachable 10 shot mag is the icing on the cake, to me.
I have thought about putting a site of some type, or a scout mounted scope on mine, but it just looks so pretty as it is.
I agree with you that the .303 is a good round. I have had people tell me it's a hard cartridge to find, but I have never had problems resupplying.
I have also read of other having problems loading the stripper clips, but I have not had any issues.
I was actually looking for a full-size enfield, when my brother came up with the Nagant I ended up getting.
CoyoteBC,
You are right. Sometimes, it is just fun to shoot for the sake of shooting. A .223 in any form is great for that. When I had my Galil, the 50 round mags were a blast to run through.
