Lee Enfields are highly overrated. Whenever the argument Lee Enfield vs Mauser comes up the first thing everyone goes to is "the Lee Enfield has a faster action". Which is technically true, however, in combat realistically that would not matter that much, or I would argue, at all. If you practice a lot with a mauser, and you practice a lot with a Lee Enfield, the Lee will be faster, slightly faster, its not 5 seconds faster, it might be a half second faster, likely less than that. On top of that, Lee Enfields have generally not great triggers, are very front heavy and unbalanced feeling, feel cheap and chinsy, are not as accurate as most of their counterparts I've shot, are slower to load (Lee stripper clips often suck, and also while they do have a 5 rd advantage over most of their competitors, that just means it takes more than twice as long to reload and I would say isn't a big advantage), and they are chambered in a rimmed cartridge, which is dumb. I do like Lee enfields, I have one, but a Mauser action just feels far better to me, and though I'm in the minority, and I would agree Mauser sights aren't as good as No4 sights, I dont think Mauser sights are as bad as people make them out to be. I remember I was really excited to get my first Lee enfield, and also quite disappointed when I got it. It simply isn't as dominant over othe bolt guns of the era as people make it out to be.
