Russian Mosin-Nagant 7.62 versus the British Lee-Enfield .30-3

[old_pop2000]

Two of the more interesting bolt action rifles of the Second World War were the Russian Mosin Nagant 7 .62 x 54R cartridge, five round mag. It was a robust weapon, fairly accurate with a much more stable cartridge.

The second rifle was the British Lee-enfield .303 with a 10 round box mag. Highly accurate.

So, which one do all of you think was better? I've fired the Mosin-Nagant, my son has one. I don't remember if I have fired the Lee-Enfield, I've fired a lot of weapons. I have provided some links, but more would be nice.
