I am considering purchasing a military surplus enfield rifle. Is it legal to hunt with them in Virginia?

yes, with a few rare exceptions (some places no m1 carbine, and some places the garand would need a 5 shot only block)
The enfield is fine, and is plenty powerful for deer.
Same with the Mosin-nagant and Mauser 98k or the Swedish 31 K
You may want to consider getting a more sporting stock for it, then keep the original one too.

Look up the Va game laws
But there is not reason why it would be illegal as long as it is of sufficient caliber, which a 303 is
Some areas of Va restrict hunting to shotgun only but in that case you couldn’t hunt with any rifle
I might suggest though that when you are looking into the Enfields pay attention to the #2 or #2A
They are ,308 NATO
most military semi-automatic rifles U can use. But stay with the bolt action. .303 or ‘06
Check with virgin game commission
Congratulations on getting an Enfield.
Here is a link to a website devoted to them.

They make great dear guns but be warned they are a bit addicting
Yes
