A lee enfield is a heck of a nice rifle. I own two No4 MK1s and they are simply wonderful to shoot. A good friend has an Ishapore and a No 5.

The 303 brit round is more than adequate for just about anything in North America. Its power is in the same range as a the above mentioned 7.7 Jap, 30-40 krag, 7.62 x 54R, low end 308 Winchester, the 300 savage, and just above normal loads for the 30-30 Winchester. its a dandy of a cartridge.
