Which would you keep and which would you sell if you were hard up for cash? I prefer shooting my ross m-10 and the cool factor associated to the ross can be beat. Only tuff guys can shoot a ross. My buddies won't enem pick it up. Makes me feel like a bad a$$ shooting this rifle.
 
Depends on condition of the rifles and am mount of money I need. I'm going through this as well. I've been selling the ones that aren't how they left the service or factory and keeping the ones that are original.

Both of them being original, I would sell three Lees before a Ross if value of the three Lees was equal to the one Ross. But that's just me.
 
I would keep any Ross rifle over a similar condition and configuration Lee Enfield. Ross rifles are very rare compared the millions upon millions of Lee Enfields manufactured.
 
As mentioned above, it depends on the condition and the specific models and markings. As a generalization, the Ross would be the most rare but there are Lee Enfields out there that are worth far more than a standard Mk III Ross. Posting some photos and details about each will be a great help.
 
I have 5 Enfields and 3 Ross m-10's. Id keep a Ross in a heartbeat. Heavy Barrel, windage and elevation adjustable? Hell yeah.

No reason to choose though. They are both great platforms and have the same caliber. Win win.
 
Condition being comparable, I think I would keep the Ross rather than any run of the mill Lee Enfield. If the Lee happened to be a Lee Metford mk II* or a carbine with a D-ring, I am afraid the Ross might be headed for the door.
 
I never force myself to make that choice. I have a lot of Lee Enfields and am down to one Ross. I got rid of a couple as they just were not up to even my casual standards. My 1910 is beautiful.
 
There is no choice. Keep em all, never ever ever sell one of your children. Did that once and have regretted it since. Sell something else. the TV, DVD, XBox, hell even downsize the truck if you need to, but never ever sell one of your children.
