Quest 1 Extreme Rifle .303 Enfield #5 MK1 Info Nee
Does anyone know anything about the Quest 1 Extreme Rifle which is "an updated design based on the Jungle Carbine"?. I had purchased a mil. surplus original Enfield Jungle Carbine No. 5, MK1, for $159.95 but the stock was in such bad shape (dented, dinged, oil soaked, small crack, etc) and the steel had a few heavily rusted areas and seemed to rate a fair to poor condition that I returned the gun to the seller and requested a refund. But the same company has the Quest rifle for sale as new and it costs $219.95 which seems like a good deal when compared to what I sent back.
I haven't talked to the seller yet, but I assume that Quest must have bought up a lot of clean, handpicked original mil. surplus rifles and then cleaned and reblued them and cut off the bayonet lug and either put on a brand new stock, or cut-down and cleaned up the old stock. I am thinking about ordering one cause I have a case of .303 ammo setting in the garage and not gun for .303.
Any advice or comments would be appreciated.

I have the Quest III Extreme in .308 and I love it. The only complaint I have is the scope mount they include. It's practically impossible to get it on the rifle "true"... I've spoken to others who have the same mount (with the Quest II and III rifles) and they said the same thing.
Otherwise, I LOVE this rifle. Gibb's has good customer service too. If the I has the same quality as the II and III, you'll be ecstatic.
The Quest I has the original Enfield sites and wood stock. I can't see you'll be unhappy with it. I'd get one except I don't want a .303 rifle.
