Its clear that the thread is definitely on the side of the Lee lineage whilst there are many other contenders with fine attributes some that have seen battle the Lee offers the average foot soldier reliability in harsh conditions, good robust design that could take a fair amount of abuse, accurate enough for the average soldier to eliminate the enemy at a reasonable distance, good magazine capacity.
History has proven the design one of the greatest in modern history in the fact that it is or was until recently still in active front line use by the Canadian Forrest Rangers (No.4's) and is still in use around the world in battles though on the wrong side of the line
