My choice a I've won the Knob Creek military bolt action match several times is the O3-A3 , very accurate dependable feeding , VERY accurate and field serviceable. Remember Enfields were accepted with a 3 in group at 100 yds using 4 out of 5 shots !!!

This is operator error.
As you knpw the .303 is a rimmed cartridge.
Load it into the mag wrong and a problem is not just likely but actually assured.
Load the mag correctly and you have what is rightly regarded as the best bolt action service rifle ever produced.
I have K98, M48, 1903, 1903A3, Arisaka T99, K31,No1, No.4 and No4MK1(T), M1 Garand, M-1 carbine and M1A .....
If I had to grab a bolt action to head out for the zombie apocalypse....it would be my Savage No.4....
And an M1 Garand was considered fit for issue if it could shoot into
FOUR inches at 100 yards.
So the Enfield requirements were actually a bit more stringent.
