IOF .315 sporting rifle

The IOF .315 sporting rifle is a civilian version of the British military Lee–Enfield rifle, chambered in the 8×50mmR Mannlicher cartridge rather than the .303 British military cartridge due to Indian gun control laws.

The rifle is manufactured at Ordnance Factory Tiruchirappalli which manufactured Lee–Enfield rifles for the British colonial Indian Army and post-independence Indian forces. It's also made in Rifle Factory Ishapore.

It has a box-type magazine which holds 5 rounds and uses an 8 mm cartridge based on the 8x50mmR Mannlicher, but is loaded with hunting-type bullets rather than military ones.

The Rifle has a modernised version, which has a wire folding stock, picatinny rails, a carrying handle and a skeletonized pistol grip. The factory has added sling swivels on the grip and at the base of the fore-end. The stock folds to the left via a push button on the right side. For a sporting rifle the stock doesn’t look comfortable, it has just a single metal rod curved to give a shape of butt.
