I really dig my Jungle Carbine Lee Enfield. The stock had been butchered by the person who had it before me so I found a synthetic stock from ATI stocks. It is actually made to go on the No. 4 but they said with some inletting it would fit and they were correct, after a bit of inletting it fits great!
DISCLAIMER: For the purist reading this, let me reiterate, the old stock had been butchered before I got it.
Anyway, the 303 Brit round it shoots seem to be kind of lacking in power by most things I read about it. It seems to be relegated to the equivalent of the 7.62x54R, which by other reports say it doesn’t come close to the 308 Win and definitely less than the 30-06.
My curiosity is what round is ballistically close to the 303 Brit besides the 7.62x54R? Also, do some feel as though it is indeed right up there with the two aforementioned American 30’s?
The shortness of this Carbine, and the 10 round Mag, would this setup be a good scout rifle? And if so, would it be effective against North American dangerous game?
