To me, it's a rifle that is nearly unique in its ability to provide six rounds in a bolt-action firearm - the only other rifle of its day to do this was the Lee-Enfield.
I can put five cartridges into the magazine of my M1903a3, and switch the "magazine cut off" to "off" and slip another round on top of the follower and use the bolt to chamber it.
