M1917 was the best Mauser action of the war. SMLE was the best infantry rifle by far. I own both and I'd take the m1917 for target shooting but for carrying and killing with I'd take the SMLE

it wasnt produced by enfield so not really no
and to OP the M1917 was really not amazing just because it had good sights and was a mauser, it was slightly heavier and longer than the 1903 and I'd argue that's more important but you know, early 1903s are of unreliable quality etc.
