When the soldiers on either side in WWII were in combat, the Garand seemed ages ahead of the Mauser as a service rifle. The rifle was so accurate that some U.S. troops designated themselves unofficial snipers and mounted a scope on it. It was not unusual for them to take headshots at over 400 yards. These are not the traits of an inaccurate rifle.
