1917 Enfield Sporter

[Joe Boleo]

I picked up a very nice U.S. 1917 Enfield sporter in .30-06 that was made by Winchester. The bore is rough and it wears a Redfield aperture sight and a Williams ramp front sight. This rifle should be used and I am pondering what caliber to go to with when rebarreling. My preferences are either a .338-06 or a .280 Remington. The Enfield has a long action and can handle .30-06 length cartridges with ease. I will decide this week when I go to see the local gunsmith. Take care...
