So I bought an Ishapore Lee Enfield in .303 Brit at my local gun shop a couple years ago for cheap as it was "sporterized" or as I prefer to call it, "bubbafied." I bought a bunch of surplus ammo for cheap so I've been able to shoot it a bunch and it has rapidly become my favorite rifle. My question is, should i accept its bubba status as a cheap rifle and further the bubba process by having it drilled and tapped for a scope, or should I attempt to reclaim the original condition and track down a full stock, sling, and bayonet?
