    Enfield 1917 rear bridge "duck pond"

    G'Day Varmtr Sounds like sound advise to me. Thanks a lot for your input! I guess in the end it all comes down to how much time and effort I feel like putting into the gun. :rolleyes:

    I realize that this area isn't necessarily in terms of firearms under heavy stress. But I would be worried about this type of fix not holding up with time and under the stresses applied under scope mounting, recoil and regular hunting use. Do you feel this is an unfounded concern?

    Unfortunately I still have one of the old military battle axes that someone turned into a sporter. It's an Enfield 1917 30-06 with a cheap 3-9x50 scope, I handload for it. Farthest I've harvested game is 375 yards. Which for all intensive purposes I would NOT recommend with it. At this point I'm...

    You still have this? Also has there been any work done to the action itself? I didn't see any mentioned, just double checking.
