Billy is right though, the Enfield action has to be one of the smoothest, best & fastest. Try a "Mad minute" shoot between an Enfield #4 and a Garand (at say 100 yards) and see how they compare.

More info:
The fast-operating Lee bolt-action and large magazine capacity enabled a trained rifleman to fire between 20 to 30 aimed rounds a minute, making the Lee-Enfield the fastest military bolt-action rifle of the day. The current world record for aimed bolt-action fire was set in 1914 by a musketry instructor in the British Army — Sergeant Instructor Snoxall — who placed 38 rounds into a 12" target at 300 yards in one minute.

that is amazing and i believe it!
