Lee-Enfield vs. Mauser

[Rodman30]

I like the Enfield but you could get a P-14 best of both worlds mauser action and chambered in 303 british whats not to like

 

[Aren't we all]

Well, I have both, so it's a moot point. But asking this is like asking which of your children do you like better

Get an M1917 -- same rifle, in .30-06.

If it's the #4 with the peep sight, I go Enfield. If we are talking about the SMLE, I go Mauser.

To me, the refinements to the Enfield after WWI made it awesome.

The Mauser was awesome from the beginning, but I always shoot better through peeps.

I don't have either. Yet. I've had a.....fascination of sorts for WWII weapons ever since I was 10 or so and started looking up guns on the net.

If it's the #4 with the peep sight, I go M1903A3 Springfield.

If I was at war it would be hands down a Lee Enfield carbine.
If I was going to build a hunting rifle then a Mauser.

^That's the right answer.

I voted SMLE since I own Mauser's exclusively. It'd be like getting strange
