I had a british Enfield No. 8 .22 l.r. for quite a time. Build in 1958 IIRC. Though it had a very good screw adjustable ladder sight, I had a 4x32 scope installed. Shot 15-round groups at 50 meters from a simple bag rest you could cover with a 1/2" patch. After a few trips to the range I was so bored by this accuracy that I didn't use it much furthermore. Sold it 2 years ago for the same reason. Great rifle, but not as much a challenge as my 1885 High Wall 45/70...
regards from Germany
