Why not just order 5000 sako 85's with open sights? or M70's, CZ, Sauer, Weatherby, etc, etc?

well they were using the same enfields since ww1 so if these last half as long it's money well spent.
as far as cost goes i doubt $100 sights a $100 larger bolt knob a $100 trigger guard and a $150 stock turn a $1700 rifle into a $6000 rifle
