My main interest for years has been handguns. I am a relatively new rifle guy. I shoot long guns lefty and in general don't care for bolt actions because of the inconvience.
However, the historic appeal and legendary performance of these two rifles is starting to be a strong temptation that may make me getmivet having to reach over the gun and work the action.
I know that most feel the Enfield to be the best bolt action military rifle ever. The Springfield and Mauser aren't too shabby either. Anyway, I would like to start with one of the two rifles mentioned in the title. I like the look and capacity of the Enfield better but my patriotism AND ABSOLUTE LACK of desire or ability to RELOAD makes me think the Springfield in .30-06 would be the best choice ecause of ammo being easier to find.
What do you guys think?
