[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3962200, member: 26737"] I haven’t looked at that particular one, but they’re usually chambered in .303Brit. Back in the day, it was a very popular milsurp sporting rifle (Tri-City used to have matches for the SMLE variant), so I’d imagine that it’s not terribly difficult to get ammo for it. Then again, I never got into Enfields, so I can’t say that I’ve ever shopped for .303Brit. The .303’s ballistics are similar to .30-‘06, so it should be good for pretty much any game animal in North America, let alone Oklahoma. I used to know several shooters who preferred the Enfield action to the Mauser action on the 1903 Springfield. ETA: it looks like Midway has some in stock, but not much selection. [/QUOTE]
