Back in the day, rifles were a huge tool to help put food on the table, Harvest fur from animals, and keep away varmint. Today, less and less Americans are using the rifle for survival in our civilized society here in the U.S.A. Sporterized rifles were used heavily for hunting and survival from the 1970's and back to at least the 1800's. These sporter rifles were seen as a tool. These days, old military rifles are seen as collectible. The history, movies, video games, and other collector sentiment has driven the values way high. So should you use a sporter rifle to hunt deer with? My son used a sporterized Lee Enfield to go deer hunting for his first time. Are they still viable today? Should you restore them back to original configuration? We answer your questions in this video.
