Best bolt action battle rifle ever made.

It was a great bolt action but had a striking similarity to the Mauser which was superior I believe.

Please describe the similarities of the Mauser K98 and the SMLE.

Then describe the similarities of the Mauser K98 and the US M1903 Springfield.

I believe you will find that one of these is not like the others ...

About the only similarity to the Mauser 98 is that the cartridge goes in and one end and the bullet comes out at the other.

Oh, and they both have triggers.

Comparison between M98K and SMLE
