[QUOTE="warpusher, post: 1811816, member: 10742"] Care to explain your multiple comments? Are you saying that the SMLE and MAS are no good in their original calibers? 303 British and 7.5 French are no slouches. I can actually get (thanks to PRVI) 7.5 cheaper than 7mm mauser, and both rounds are in the same class as 7mm. As to the firewood comment, both the SMLE and MAS are excellent rifles and definately are not "firewood". The MAS has some of the best sights on a bolt gun, and quite possibly the simplest disassembly of any bolt gun. It also is quick firing due to the rear locking lugs. As for the SMLE, your negative comments are the first I can ever remember hearing on this arm. The SMLE has been through it all and emerged victorious. It again is quick firing, has a large capacity, and is very easy to maintain. As much as I like 7X57, it was Mauser's export cartridge, they kept the 8mm's to themselves. [/QUOTE]
