Help a guy out!

I think the current market for a sporterized '17 Enfield is $900-$1,000. However, very tough to evaluate it like this (online) - quality of work, condition of blueing, bore condition, etc., all can impact things significantly. Is the stock bedded? Pillars? Recoil pad hardened into a rock? To me the value would lie in using it to slay critters vs. being pretty. YMMV.

You could ASSUME it is .30-06, but that doesn't verify the prior owner(s) didn't have it re-bored to .35 Whelen, for example. Take a round of .30-06 and see it the bullet end fits into the muzzle - that would 98% mean it is .30-06 - only certain way is cerro-cast the chamber - a local gunsmith should be able to do that for you.

What does you think is better leave it as is sporterized or try and located an original stock for this gun?
 
I would leave it as is - receiver has been drilled and tapped, so you really cannot restore the rifle to mil-spec.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
