I suspect that 'scout rifle' is coming to mean 'utility rifle'--which is probably a better description of what an Enfield makes up into. In all honesty, the process can be absurdly simple. I just put a #4 Mk. 1 action into an Advanced Technologies 'zytel' stock (available from Brownell's), removed the front sight ears and the short portion of barrel in front of the sight. That gives me a decent, practical cartridge, charger loading, aperture sights, and moderate weight. The only tricky parts were in learning to neck size the .303 brass for decent case life. One of these days I am going to load up some Sierra Match King bullets for it and see just what a $150 rifle will do.
