I own a rather nice Churchill .303 Lee Enfield sporter on a 1945 Ishapore action. The metal-work is rather spartan, embellishment consisting solely of a sheet-metal foresight ramp and a silver-lined shallow vee modification to the military rear sight, however the stock is a nice 1950/60s-style restrained monte-carlo with ebony tip and white-line spacers. It is well-finished overall and is very comfortable to shoot offhand.

The rifle shows no hint of the 'shortcuts' or compromised quality mentioned above.

Knowing this, I would be reluctant to kiss-off an Ishapore sporter without a second look.
