I had a Siamese Mauser 45-70 a few years ago, and it took a lot of trial and error to get it to feed properly. I wish I still had it, but I don't have any experience with the Enfield, but I've been thinking about buying one, but I don't how reliably they feed! If they doo feed properly either one would make a fine deer, hog,woods rifle or black bear over bait.

i found one NIB from navy arms w/ refinsihed wood, reblue, chrome bolt and 21" bbl w/ williams sights.
the magaziine is a newly designed one not a reworked 303 mag, that should cure the feeding ails.

Whats the tariff on something like that in your area? I like 45/70s.
