Greetings Bumblefoot,
I'm with you on this one. To my knowledge (I must admit I skipped over some of the posts halfway through the first sentence) no one has suggested that the Lee Enfield is the last word in sporting rifle design. Some of us, perhaps a lot of us, just like to keep one or two around. Few if any of us keep one as a primary hunting rifle, we just like to load for and shoot them. We work around their shortcomings to produce usable loads suitable for the limited hunting and shooting we do with them. Some, like me have a long family association with the rifles and its cartridge. My first shot with any rifle was with my Uncles P14, at a rock, close to Makino Hut on the last Saturday in March 1963. No amount of jawboning will change that.
Regards Grandpamac.
