Enfield LOP

Thanks, I'll look into what this particular one is. What is the length of each one, if it's not too much trouble? Also, I'm really considering getting one, partly for historical value, partly for how rugged they probably are, and partly for hunting. Realistically, what do you think of the rifles all around usefulness?

The 303 brit round has killed every animal killable with a rifle on the planet.
Realistically if you cannot take an animal with a 303 brit you are the problem.
No idea in the actual length, but the long stocks were usually given to the taller chaps, so if your average or below average it might be too large for you.
As for the usefulness, the Lee Enfields are really versatile rifles. For hunting, they can take Whitetail deer to Moose to Bear. good results on the targets can also be achieved with the right hand load and a properly bedded rifle.

"...what the length of pull will be?..." A 'Long' should have a 13.75" LOP. If that's too short, buy a slip-on recoil pad. Pachmayr makes one that doesn't cost a pile of money. Adds about an inch. Too long, find another stock.
FYI, a 'Standard/Normal' is 13.25", a 'Short' 12.75" and the 'Bantam' is 12.25".
"...am looking at..." Measure your personal LOP too. One easy way is to hold a yard stick in your bent elbow and grasp it with your hand. Where your finger comes to is your LOP.
Shouldering a yard stick like you do a rifle and looking where your finger is, does the same thing.
