I have often heard it said that while the Mauser action is strongest, the Lee action is smoothest and the Lee-Enfield was the fastest of the bolt-action battle rifles in terms of the rate of aimed fire that it can allow.
So what makes the Lee so smooth, and if it's so great, why are there so many modern Mauser derivatives but, as far as I know, no modern Lees?
Keep in mind I really like Lee-Enfields and would love to have one, so I am not knocking them, just trying to understand.
Thanks!
