The Lee-Enfield is a modified Mauser actions. It had advantages but it is still a less reliable design than the original 1898 action. If it was so obviously superior to the other battle rifles of the area the other countries would have modified their own weapons as has been done throughout...

Check my sig :D

Controlled Round Feed is better, only you can decide if you need it.

On my marlin .22 carbine I have a light little 4x32 Nikon Prostaff. It is clear and bright, the perfect scope for handy little small game rifle.
