They were so great that Italian troops issued with 7.35 rifles would exchange them for 6.5s at the first opportunity. They never had a good supply of the larger calibre ammo. The Finns loved them so much that they would swap them for captured Soviet rifles on the battlefield. At least that way they could be assured of a good supply of 7.62x54R ammo as used by both sides. Calling it the best bolt rifle of WWII has to be clickbait. My vote goes to Rifle No4 (Lee Enfield), any version, with Rifle No1 MkIII/MkIII* as runner-up and I'll really stick my neck out by putting the MAS 1936 in third place.

Ah, clickbait. That explains it. I'm subscribed to that channel BTW.
I had a Carcano once. It was okay, but I wouldn't want to go to war with it if my enemies had the Lee-Enfield. The Japanese had a similar problem with their 6.35mm Arisaka rifle. Kind of weak.
