Bolt head's a #2. Agreed on the history. For accuracy and quality I'll take the Swedish Mauser. For a bolt action battle rifle it's hard to argue against the 10 shot Enfield.
Speaking of Arisakas, back in the 50s a friend of mine's father had a 6.5 and 7.7 he'd brought back from WWII and kept at his farm. They were pretty beat up looks wise but functioned fine and were accurate enough for younger eyes to hit with.
