The Lee-Enfield is a family of British bolt-action rifles that became the backbone of the British Empire’s infantry from the late 19th century through World War II and beyond. Chambered in .303 British, early models evolved into the famous SMLE and later the No.4 — all prized for rugged reliability, excellent trigger control, and a large 10-round charger-fed magazine. Unusually for a bolt-action, trained crews could deliver very fast aimed fire, earning the Lee-Enfield a reputation for superb practical rate-of-fire under combat conditions. It fought across trenches, deserts and jungles from the Somme to Burma, and its solid, serviceable design kept it in use with many Commonwealth and colonial forces long after the war. Handling a Lee-Enfield at our Budapest shooting range lets you feel the history of two world wars in your hands — a deeply cinematic and genuinely historic daytime activity in Budapest and one of the most memorable things to do in Budapest for history and games fans alike. If you want a piece of authentic military heritage that shoots like a precision tool from a different era, the Lee-Enfield is a must-try.

For non-shooters that’s like watching a precision gamer hit an impossible streak: it looks dramatic, sounds cinematic, and instantly explains why the rifle became legendary.
