Eric, I am not a big fan of the .303 Enfield as a sniping rifle as I have never found them to be particulary accurate. I would be hard pressed to keep 5 shots in a 4" circle with mine at 100 yards which is OK for moose hunting but it is 93 years old so I can't complain. I would probably choose a .30-06 '03 Springfield or perhaps a Mauser '98 8MM. The neighbour of mine has a lovely '98 Mauser sniper rifle with scope which his dad "liberated" from a dead German sniper in Holland during WW2. I have long admired the quality of that firearm despite it's origins.
