The fact that the Enfield allows you to keep your sight picture and line of sight when firing puts it leagues above everything else.
They're all good, but the Enfield is the superior rifle. Couple that with the 10 round mag and easier to use peep sight. You can't beat it.
I’ve shot all 3 of them, thinking the K98 was the superior one, ended up loving the Lee
+1 on the Enfield especially if you can find one of the 7.62 NATO converted examples. I've owned multiple German and Swiss rifles and I always eventually move them on. They're all fine rifles though, pick your poison or get all three!
Enfield does not have front locking lugs on the bolts......be aware using more modern performance ammo in that the bolt does not fare well and can/has exited rearward. The Mauser on the other hand was designed with two front Locking lugs and this action (copied by many modern rifle makers) can handle Hot/Magnum loads all day long.....Be safe, be aware.
@@robertrugg9104 That makes the Mauser action potentially a better one for sporting rifles, that may be chambered in a wide variety of cartridges, including some very powerful ones. But that really makes no difference whatever for a military rifle, that's going to use not only a single cartridge, but also a specific type of ammunition.
The Lee Enfield is a awesome action, I like the fact you can carry loaded and uncocked. Similar to some other firearms from that day. Second to that all other bolt guns in the USA are pretty much Mauser. Never fired a Swiss pullback
I love how smooth the swiss 1911's action is, but my heart belongs to mauser
Literally anything that you guys don't buy all of and then sell for more than they're worth.
I can't wait for them to block comments on these threads. They end up getting called out for having the highest prices on everything.
The Swiss action is a work of art
Number 4 Mk1 in my gun safe. Built in 1943. Had a 1950s No.4 but passed it on to my nephew for his collection.
I have number 4 mk1 built in 1950
Thanks for the video. Of these, I'm most likely to pick up a Mauser someday.
Enfield hands down I miss mine
My Mauser is my favorite bolt action to shoot, but will be trying the Mosin soon
I own all 3 and still love the uniqueness of the swiss. Its accuracy is great. Use surplus gp ammo and its a real tack driver
The biggest thing keeping the Swiss guns from being popular sporting use guns is the top ejection that prevents a normal scope mount.
I am very fond of the Lee Enfield, as it was my first deer rifle as a kid. Outfitted with a Williams peep sight it was exceptional at distances of 400 to 600 yards.
My favorite bolt action milsurp rifle is the Lee Enfield followed by the Arisaka type 99 which is also a cock on close action. Both are some sweet shooting rifles.
Y’all intro is on point!!
Go to surplus...M1 Garand 30.06. Wish the o3's weren't so expensive.
I like them all but if you want a Swiss go with the K 31. I have a K 31 and love the way it shoots.
I like the swedish straight pull i think its a great gun especially with the engineering aspect and you cant really go wrong with the mauser but a rifle i want to add to my collection is the enfield and i plan on getting one hopefully at some point this yr from yall .
Swiss straight pull rifles have the best accuracy, simply because of Swiss engineering. BUT they are not as strong as Mausers. I am going to rank Enfields at the very bottom of nearly any rifle comparison due to their horribly weak action; their headspace would actually open up just through normal military service, with rifles being demoted first to home guard use (where they'd be fired little) then to drill purpose only use. Indeed, the design would never pass safety standards today. The relatively mild cartridge meant they could largely get away with such a flawed design, but one must consider how much money they could have saved if their rifles weren't wearing out beyond repair.
You are comparing worn out guns there are many target grade Enfield rifles and the sniper version as well that are as good as it gets and fast to cycle also... I have new unfired examples and refurb factory guns that shoot amazing no issues... military grade used guns are all junk so not a fair comparison...not a weak action they chambered .308 for it no issues there... actually 7.62 x 51 Nato but same same...
It can't be that weak. After all they handled powder charges three to five times more powerful than normal at least one magazine or two at the proof house. Those that passed of course get proof marks and accepted. The ones that didn't were scrapped
@@danielleclare2938 There were a few converted to 7.62 NATO for testing but it was quickly abandoned as unsafe and unsuitable. The Indian Ishapore 2A and 2A1 rifles were actually complete new builds, with reinforcements and better steel, and even they would have their headspace open if you used commercial .308 in them. This makes sense, as the bolt thrust of .308 is around 20% higher than .303; each round was a proofing load. The Enfield design simply could not take it. Any British Enfield that's been converted to .308 is a grenade waiting to happen.
@@WardenWolf They make brand new ones for sale form Australia in 7.62 x 51 also those are the original No 3 rifles from WW1 you are full of beans about these guns.. nice try but no grenades except in your head..
@@danielleclare2938 Look, I can only go on what actual professional testing has shown, and that is that these rifles are NOT safe with 7.62 NATO or .308. They may take it FOR A WHILE, but sooner or later they're going to let loose. Anecdotal evidence from wildcat gunsmiths in Australia is NOT the same as professional testing that has shown these things will rapidly develop headspace issues.
K31 for sure 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
Just bought one I haven't seen it in person yet but looks 👌
I have all 3 guns but I love shooting my Enfield.
I like Swiss straight pull. I bought all 3 models from Classic Firearms
On Lee enfield by using middle finger on trigger and another finger on the bolt to move quickly action like a semi auto it really fast .
I do love all things 7.62x54r. So a mosin it is. But if happily take a SVD or PSL. 😁
Don't forget the 45/70 Lee's too...
Which action is the most copied and borrowed from? That's probably the best?
Love the Lee-Enfield. Great at long distance.
It's gotta be the Enfield for sure
Personally using both systems Mauser and Swiss K11 for hunting Mauser is on top but for shooting I prefer my straight pull carbine
I love my 8mm mauser. Best not action I've ever bought.
Gentleman, a point. Not all mausers cock on opening. I have an old 93 in 7×57 which clocks on closing. I would read up a bit more on all mausers if you dont mind me saying.
My father has a numbers matching Swiss k/31 Mauser. Best damn rifle I've ever shot.
Do you ever read your comments? The Canadian mounted police replaced them in the 50s with the fn c1 fal. It’s the Canadian Arctic rangers who still had them a couple years ago.
Enfield no 4 mik 2, has twice the accuracy of an Enfield no 4 mk 1 due t a difference in how the trigger mechanism is hung on the rifle. M1917 US also has Enfield action it is not a US SMLE, it is based on 1915 Enfield model.
The Pattern 1914 and 1917 Enfields were actually Mauser actions. If Britain had stayed the course and switched production to the Pattern 1914 post-WW1, they could have probably saved a lot of money because regular Enfields literally wore out beyond repair just through normal service due to insufficient action strength. They basically had a lot of rifles from the early post-WW1 era that were, by the time of World War II, good only for drill purposes.
Oof, I wish most modern bolt guns were built on the Mauser action. Sadly, most are push-feed.
When it comes down to it, I'd say they're all pretty on par with each other. When you're comparing bolt guns, it is about 95% or more, like for like and the remaining 5% is really just a lot of over-inflated opinions/preferences. Can something do better in very very specific circumstances? Of course; you can always tailor a hyper specific scenario for just about anything.
Yes, I know some actions are "smoother" but it's really only a marginal gain. And as for having 5 vs. 10 rounds in the magazine, yes capacity matters but you're still charging with 5 round clips and manually operating a bolt, so the jury is still out for me.
But in the spirit of the video, I cast my vote for the K31. I have rifles of each variety and that's my choice out of all them. I much prefer the sights on the Enfield No4 but, K31 is lighter, they are made to a higher accuracy standard (in general and including the ammo) and in my experience, nothing loads nearly as buttery smooth as a K31. But in the end, the best rifle is often the one you've practiced with.
Hmmmm depends the environment.
I own them all and I’ll pick the Mauser every time
I am also a lefty, shot LOTS of right handed bolt guns, accurately, but not quickly :)
If you haven't yet, you should see Ian McCollum do competitions with bolt guns. He's a lefty too.
@@billmelater6470 I have, Ian is a monster
left handed? that explains so much.
Mauser is my fav
Three-nought-three.
What? No mosin nagant?!? 🤣 the ‘03 Springfield too much $$?
AND HE HAD TO SHAVE .... LOL
Lee enfield ❤️
I would say the Mauser is the only one to go with
-mauser
-k31
-enfield
Countries like Africa…. Yeah that makes sense
Mauser wins!
No. 1 Enfield > No. 4 Enfield
Mosin nagant
I think at this point non of those are worth buying, too much money for them
Enfield is not an unusual action except to these guys.... the Swedish Mauser uses the same method for cocking the action...and both cam open slightly when you rotate the bolt same as the traditional German Mauser...which cocks mostly on open but not completely you rotate the bolt closed for the final part...anyway they do not know their subject very well...
Nyet mosin is fine
Where Mosin?
Let’s all be real the Mauser is Superior and always will be
If you not subscribed you're a Free Loader
*STEYER AUG can shit on all these guns from such a hight their owners will think they got sharted by god himself!*
Lets be real here. Mosin Nagant would kick all of these rifles asses. 7.62x54r life for me.
I think the guys who like the lee Enfields haven’t used a Mauser or a Schmidt lol
I have all three and I STILL prefer the LE. Sights on the Enfield are far superior to either the Mauser or the Schmidt (lol)
