1917 Eddystone Enfield

Re: 1917 Eddystone Enfield

The 1917 is a Rifle renowned for it's accuracy and has won a lot of vintage matches at Camp Perry so the answer is, yes... in capable hands it's more than accurate enough for 200yds and beyond.

Now to find a nice stock without breaking the bank. </div></div>
Original stocks are getting hard to come by. The M1917 was very popular for sporter projects. As a result, most of their stocks were destroyed/discarded in the process. There are also a lot of people looking at restoring them, as you are. So, when they do pop up for sale, they can be a little pricey.

Re: 1917 Eddystone Enfield

Finally got one a few years back for a different reason.

Somewhere I have a pic of my Grandfather shooting one at a range the day before my Dad was borne, so the family story goes and even though mine isn't that rifle I still go shooting with him when I take the '17 out.

Remington 8-18

Best $300.00 I ever spent on shooting gear.
